Over the past few months I have been sharing tasty, healthy, and quick meals using the Grilled & Ready® chicken to help inspire you to get into shape for Summer. Well, I have another delicious meal idea for you…

These Southwest Chicken Tacos with Mango Salsa and avocado are so simple and mouthwatering.

This is a perfect summer dinner solution that will also keep you on track and swimsuit ready. It’s light, it’s fresh, and it’s bursting with bold flavors that will please even the pickiest eaters.

I love how easy these were to make, since I took full advantage of the fully cooked Southwestern Chicken Breast Strips from the Tyson® Grilled & Ready® line. 

They are perfectly seasoned and already cooked, which meant all I had to do was quickly heat the chicken up in a skillet. If you can’t find the Southwestern Chicken Breast Strips, use the regular Grilled Chicken Breast Strips (which I’m also I’m a big fan of because they’re versatile for so many recipes, and they’re free from the allergens, soy and wheat), and toss them in a mixture of cumin, garlic powder, and chile powder. Equally delicious.

Can we talk about Mango Salsa for a second?

I’m in love.

I could eat it all day long. In fact, I did eat it all day long last Thursday {stopping only because I ran out}. It’s that good. The flavors of sweet mango mixed with red onion, cilantro and jalapeño were meant to be. There’s a little lime, and of course some honey to boost the sweet factor in a natural way. Try it, you’ll be hooked.

Trust.

When you combine the mango salsa with the Southwest Chicken Tacos it’s magical. The spice from the tacos marry perfectly with the sweet salsa. I added some extra jalapeño slices, and of course some creamy avocado to my tacos, but those are optional. But necessary. But optional.

Just do it.
