• 8 small corn tortillas
• 1 cup diced mango
• 1/2 cup diced red onion

4. Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
5. To assemble the tacos, place some shredded lettuce on each tortilla, top with the cooked chicken, add slices of avocado, and finish with a generous spoonful of mango salsa.
