Ingredients

  • 2 pieces Ripe mangoes diced

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the mango salsa by combining diced mango, minced onion, chopped cilantro, and lime juice in a bowl.
  • In a hot skillet, sear the marinated protein until cooked through, aiming for a light char, usually for several minutes per side.
