    I love celebrating this incredible tropical fruit!

    Mangoes always inspire me, and are one of my favorite foods.

    It really doesn't get much better than a mango at the peak of its season. And this Chipotle Mango Salsa is on amazing!

    Ingredients for Chipotle Mango Salsa


    • mango
    • avocado
    • tomato
    • red onion
    • cilantro
    • chipotles in adobo sauce
    • salt, black pepper

    How to Make it


    This mango Chipotle Mango Salsa is an easy-to-make recipe that packs a ton of big flavors.

    - Mix all of the ingredients together and season to taste with salt and pepper.

    What do mangoes taste like?


    • There are several different mango varieties and each differs slightly in taste.
    • Generally, when ripe, mangoes are soft and juicy.
    • The texture can be a bit fibrous when they aren't ripe -- and when they are ripe, the texture is like butter! (Keitt and Ataulfo varieties are known for almost never -- if ever -- being fibrous.)
    • Mangoes are very sweet, subtly tangy with a hint note of honey flavor.

    Pro Tip


    Did you know the pit of a mango is flat?  It's true, and if you haven't cut a mango before, it could be tricky. Check out my easy-to-follow photographic guide that takes you through the steps of How to Peel and Cut a Mango.

    Serving Suggestions


    This summer salsa is so fantastic, so versatile and can be used in so many delicious ways.

    • Mix the salsa into different types of salads (fruit salads, green salads).
    • Top chicken, fish or grilled steak with it.
    • Dip chips into the salsa (of course)!
    • Add to lettuce cups with other ingredients, or even on its own, for lettuce tacos.
    • Add a spoonful to a pretty endive leaf as an hors d'ouevre or appetizer.
    • Serve the salsa as a colorful, fresh condiment with all sorts of tacos, burritos or tostadas.
    • Avocado Mango Salsa with Chipotles is perfect to serve alongside my favorite Plantain Picadillo Empenadas.
    • Dare I say, spoon a bit over ice cream? It's been done, and it's shockingly tasty!

      Valentina, this would definitely brighten up a barbeque! I love mangoes too. Living in Dubai we got imports from around the world. The market was like a big mango festival! This would be so good over chicken or fish. And over ice cream? Sounds so crazy I just might try it!

      Huh! I didn't know there were different varieties of mango! Learn something new everyday! Love how fresh and vibrant this salsa is, Valentina! And the addition of chipotle is just perfect. I could make a meal out of just this with some chips 🙂 Pinned! Have a wonderful week!

      Interesting! I can't say I've ever paid attention to mango varieties. I'm totally going to pay attention now. And I love the bit of chipotle in this salsa...the spicy + sweet from mangoes is a great combination!

      Well, we Down Under have to get past winter chills ere we can prepare your rather delicious salsa: new to me as have not used any form of chilli ! Oddly, avocadoes are best in wintertime here - probably travelling from the balmier north. Mangoes tho' truly are a favourite summer fruit with over a dozen different kinds available, the Kensington Pride, the Calypso, R2E2, Nam Doc and Palmer being my favourites. Recipes are fine but most of us simply cut the cheeks off, put a big bib on, bend over the kitchen sink and enjoy . . . 🙂 !

        Hi Eha, wow, I didn't know avocados were in season in the winter in Australia -- your probably right that they travel from warmer climates. 🙂 And so great there are so many mango varieties available in the summer. I love them best on their own, too! Deliciously sweet and juicy. 😀 Cheers and thanks for visiting! ~Valentina

      We love mango salsa, but with that said I've never made it with Adobo Sauce. It must give the salsa a nice smokey kick. I really like mango salsa served with fish tacos or Huevos Rancheros. On ice cream, why not. Maybe on top of mango ice cream...

      Beautiful. I love all of the flavors and textures and colors in this! I can sort of see it on ice cream. But I still like my dulce de leche flavor!
