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.
Warm the tortillas in the skillet just until pliable, then assemble by layering the protein, mango salsa, and any preferred toppings.
Serve immediately with extra lime wedges on the side.
Notes
Tip: Avoid overcrowding the pan while cooking the protein to ensure proper searing.
