2 tsp cumin

1 tbsp dried chili flakes

** 1-3 diced jalapenos or choice of hot sauce salt & pepper to taste

Instructions:

Tacos

1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl
2. Drizzle with Mango dressing (recipe below)
3. Sprinkle with S&P
4. Warm up tortilla on frying pan or microwave
5. 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

1. Add mango,lime juice, chili flakes, cumin, & orange juice to blender
2. Blend adding more water until you achieve your desired consistency ( I chose to keep it on the thicker side)
3. Add in chopped cilantro, s&p and additional chili flakes or jalapenos.
