- In a medium bowl, combine the diced chicken, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, lime juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to coat the chicken evenly and let it marinate for about 15 minutes.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken to the skillet and cook for about 6-8 minutes, or until fully cooked and slightly crispy, stirring occasionally.
- Once the chicken is cooked, add the diced mango, red onion, red bell pepper, and jalapeño to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.
- Warm the corn tortillas in a separate skillet or directly over a low flame until pliable.
- Assemble the tacos by placing a generous portion of the spicy mango chicken mixture onto each tortilla.
- Top each taco with fresh avocado slices and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro for garnish.
