½ tsp

3 Tbs 

 

extra-virgin olive oil, divided

1 medium

1

Cut chicken breast halves lengthwise into ½-inch wide strips.

2

In a medium bowl, combine tomato paste, chili powder, garlic powder and 1 Tbs. of the olive oil. Add the chicken strips and stir to coat. Marinate for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine mango, avocado, red pepper, cilantro and the juice of 1 lime in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cut the remaining lime into wedges.

Heat remaining 2 Tablespoons olive oil in medium sauté pan over medium-high heat. Season chicken strips with salt and pepper. Sauté chicken, stirring often, until they're firm to the touch and uniformly opaque, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn off the heat and let sit for 1 minute.

 Cooking Tips

*Look for just-ripe avocados and mangos- they should give slightly when flesh is squeezed (not too soft).

**Try serving this inside corn tortillas for a little taco-action.
