Ingredients
  

2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced into small cubes

1 cup shredded red cabbage for crunch

1 cup corn kernels (freshly cooked or canned, drained)

1 ripe avocado, sliced into wedges

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped for a hint of sharpness

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped for freshness

Juice of 1 lime, freshly squeezed

1 tablespoon olive oil to enhance flavor

1 teaspoon ground cumin for earthiness

1/2 teaspoon chili powder for a subtle kick

Salt and pepper, to taste

8 small corn tortillas, for wrapping

Optional: Crumbled feta or cotija cheese, for a creamy topping

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mango Salsa: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced mangoes, finely chopped red onion, and chopped cilantro. Drizzle the lime juice over the mixture and sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper. Gently toss the ingredients together to combine and set aside to let the flavors infuse while you prepare the other components.

    Make the Corn Salad: In a separate bowl, add the corn kernels and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle in the ground cumin, chili powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well to ensure that every kernel is evenly coated with the spices and oil.

      Warm the Tortillas: Place a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully lay one corn tortilla in the skillet. Toast for about 30 seconds on one side, then flip and toast for another 30 seconds on the other side, or until it is warm and becomes pliable. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas, stacking them in a clean kitchen towel to keep warm.

        Assemble the Tacos: Take a warm tortilla and place a small handful of shredded red cabbage in the center. Top it with a generous spoonful of the corn salad, followed by 2-3 slices of avocado. Finally, add a hearty spoonful of the prepared mango salsa to complete the taco.

          Optional Toppings: If desired, sprinkle crumbled feta or cotija cheese over the tacos to add a creamy, tangy flavor that complements the fresh ingredients.

            Serve: Arrange the assembled tacos on a platter or on individual plates. For an extra burst of flavor, give the tacos a quick squeeze of lime juice on top and garnish with additional cilantro if you wish. Serve immediately for optimal freshness.
