Turkey Tacos with Mango Salsa
Description
This recipe features turkey breast strips baked until cooked through and tender, providing a lean protein base for the tacos. Meanwhile, the salsa is a fresh mix of chopped mango, red bell pepper, jalapeño, red onion, and cilantro, all brightened with lime juice. The salsa adds a colorful, crunchy, and slightly spicy contrast to the turkey.
The corn tortillas are warmed alongside the turkey in the oven wrapped in foil, enhancing their pliability and warmth for assembly. The tacos are assembled by layering the mango salsa and turkey on each tortilla and served with lime wedges for added freshness and acidity at the table.
Mango salsa can be prepared ahead and stored in the fridge for up to a week. Substitutions like flour tortillas or parsley instead of cilantro can be used without compromising the overall flavor balance.
