2 tsp cumin
1 tbsp dried chili flakes

Tacos
- Combine all ingredients in a bowl
- Drizzle with Mango dressing (recipe below)
- Sprinkle with S&P
- Warm up tortilla on frying pan or microwave
- Garnish with your choice of dressings: guacamole, hot sauce, sour cream, salsa, etc.
note: I added a jalapeno sauce to give the dressing more kick. The brand I used is local to Costa Rica so you could easily just substitute the sauce with 1-3 diced jalapenos (depending how hot you'd like)
Instructions:
Salsa
- Add mango,lime juice, chili flakes, cumin, & orange juice to blender
- Blend adding more water until you achieve your desired consistency ( I chose to keep it on the thicker side)
