Mango With Chile-Lime Salt

A dash of ground cumin elevated this!

I prefer to use Chipotle Salsa Buffalo which I often see used be street vendors in Mexico. They often use it on different fruits, jicama and corn on the cob along with the lime and a salt. More calories are an option with the corn if they smear on crema and sprinkle with grated cheese.

I’ve been making with frozen mango pieces & this has become a favorite at my house.

I really love eating this and i've had it also in Thailand other than Mexico. Only one thing, since somebody wrote about not using paprika. I think it's referring to the chile paprika, the one used in mexico, and not the hungarian paprika or the one we use in spain (pimentòn) which has a smoked flavour. They are subtle differences but they are not the same and i believe change the flavor: for example the spanish one would be (for me) overpowering!

"Don't ever serve plain mango again." My husband was as impressed as I was with what a little chili salt and lime juice can do to fire up a mango!

You can substitute slices of jicama or cucumber for the mango, or serve all three. And we've used lime juice with a dusting of paprika/cayenne without salt. At pot luck parties, this always disappears faster than expected.

This calls for what is simply a homemade version of Taijin a common Mexican produced spice mixture available in places like Costco. Sometime we don't have to re-invent the wheel.... BTW -- Taijin works great on corn on the cob too!

Rancho Gordo's Stardust is an all natural substitute for Tajin and it's great on just about anything! Though I do not recommend snorting it ;)

This is also an Indian recipe with two variants - a sweet or ripe mango with chili powder and some salt; or a raw mango cut into smaller bits, with peanuts, fresh coriander bits, and then lime and chili powder and salt.

Tajin or Traders Joe’s chili-line salt is also very good sprinkled on banana chunks.

Super easy. Frozen mango chunks sprinkled with Frank's Red Hot, Chile 'n Lime!

I thought this was good but the lime zest was not great. It's best to just put the juice of the lime. And I used Paprika.

I was lazy and used a generous sprinkle of Trader Joe's Chili Lime seasoning blend. With slightly underripe golden mangos, it was delicious. I promise to make it according to the recipe next time!

Wait... so no lime “acidity”? It’s supposed to be sour and spicy...

Genuinely surprised that this was listed in the New York Times it’s target demographic. This was less of a recipe and more of a “Columbus-ing” of a snack popular with many people, other than NYT target demographic. Nevertheless, Tajin is widely available and delicious on not only mango, but cucumber, watermelon, and other fruits.
