Ingredients
  

2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes

1 large ripe avocado, diced into 1/2-inch cubes

1 red bell pepper, finely chopped

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1 jalapeño pepper, seeds removed and minced (adjust based on spice preference)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped roughly

Juice of 2 limes, freshly squeezed

Salt and pepper to taste

Tortilla chips (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by peeling and dicing the mangoes and avocado, making sure the avocado is ripe but firm to maintain its shape. Place the diced fruit into a large mixing bowl.

    Add Vegetables: Carefully fold in the finely chopped red bell pepper, red onion, and minced jalapeño into the bowl with the mango and avocado. Take care to mix gently to prevent mashing the avocado pieces.

      Season the Salsa: Sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the combination, then add the freshly squeezed lime juice, which adds a zesty kick. Gently stir to ensure all ingredients are well-coated. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste, balancing the flavors.

        Taste & Adjust: Sample your salsa and adjust the seasoning or lime juice as needed. Aim for a lovely harmony between the sweetness of the mango and the acidity of the lime.

          Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This chilling period allows the flavors to meld and intensify, resulting in a more delicious salsa.

            Prepare the Chips (Optional): If you prefer homemade tortilla chips, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut corn tortillas into triangles and lightly coat them with olive oil. Arrange them on a baking sheet and bake for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until they're crispy and golden brown. Flip the chips halfway through baking for even crispiness.

              Serve: Present the chilled mango avocado salsa in a vibrant bowl, accompanied by your crunchy tortilla chips. Gather friends and family to enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures!
