Tangy Mango and Habanero Salsa

This tangy mango and habanero salsa is the perfect condiment to add a kick to your favorite dishes. The sweetness of the mango balances out the heat of the habanero pepper, while the red onion and lime juice add a refreshing brightness. This salsa is perfect for tacos, burritos, salads, or even just as a dip for tortilla chips.

I first had this salsa at a Mexican restaurant in Los Angeles. I was immediately hooked on the sweet and spicy flavor, and I knew I had to recreate it at home. After a few tries, I finally perfected the recipe, and I'm excited to share it with you today.
