Chef’s Insight

The key to this dish is balancing flavors - smoky from the grill, sweetness from the mango salsa, and a touch of heat from the jalapeños. Use high-quality ingredients for best results.

Notes

Use fresh ingredients for the best results; pre-made mango salsa may not have the same depth of flavor.
