Ingredients
  

2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced into small cubes

1 large ripe avocado, diced into cubes

1 red bell pepper, finely chopped for sweetness

1 small red onion, finely chopped for sharpness

1 jalapeño pepper, seeds removed and minced (adjust to taste for spice level)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped for freshness

Juice of 2 limes for acidity

Salt and pepper to taste for seasoning

Tortilla chips (store-bought or homemade for crunch)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by peeling and dicing the ripe mangoes into small cubes and doing the same for the avocado. It’s important to ensure the avocado is ripe but firm to maintain its shape in the salsa.

    Add Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, gently fold together the diced mango and avocado. Next, incorporate the finely chopped red bell pepper, red onion, and minced jalapeño. Mix carefully to avoid mushing the avocado, keeping the chunky texture intact.

      Season the Salsa: Sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the mixture. Squeeze in the fresh lime juice, which will add a zesty brightness. Gently stir everything to evenly coat the ingredients with lime juice and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste, balancing the flavors.

        Taste & Adjust: Sample the salsa and make any necessary adjustments by adding more salt, pepper, or lime juice. The sweetness from the mango should balance with the tartness of the lime, creating a refreshing flavor profile.

          Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator. Let the salsa chill for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.

            Prepare the Chips (Optional): If you prefer homemade tortilla chips, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut corn tortillas into triangles, lightly brush them with olive oil, and arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until they are crispy and golden brown, flipping them halfway through to ensure even crispiness.

              Serve: Once chilled, transfer the mango avocado salsa to a serving bowl. Arrange the tortilla chips neatly around the bowl for dipping. Enjoy the vibrant and fresh flavors alongside the satisfying crunch of the chips!
