Heart Healthy Grilled Chicken Tacos with Mango Salsa

When it comes to healthy tacos, you can’t go wrong with grilled chicken mango tacos. That’s because this marinated chicken recipe starts with chicken breasts, which are a good source of lean protein. The marinade imparts taste but has no fat, which also keeps this dish healthier. The chicken is then grilled (and we know grilled chicken is healthy) and the tacos are topped with a vibrant salsa loaded with fiber, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. All of this delicious goodness is wrapped up in corn tortillas, making these mango salsa chicken tacos a wholesome meal the family will adore.

Many tacos have a lot of salt in the seasoning used to flavor the filling, but we turned this into a low sodium chicken recipe by using fresh, bold flavors so you don’t miss the salt. The chicken is seasoned with garlic, cumin, cilantro and lime juice and uses just a pinch of salt. The salsa is loaded with the fresh tastes of mango, avocado, tomato, onion, jalapeno and lime juice, with no salt needed to enhance the taste. There are so many fresh flavors in these tacos that you won’t even notice the salt is missing from this dish.

To round out this tasty but low calorie chicken recipe, consider serving some creamy but healthy Guacamole on the side.
