A quick and easy no-cook snack featuring juicy mango cubes tossed with lime, chili powder, sea salt, and drizzled with tangy chamoy sauce. Perfect for beach days, picnics, or any time you want a fresh, vibrant, and addictive treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe mangoes (Ataulfo or Haden varieties recommended), peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes
  • Juice of 1 fresh lime
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder or Tajín seasoning (adjust to taste)
  • About 1 tablespoon chamoy sauce per serving
  • Optional: fresh mint leaves for garnish
  • Optional: chopped cucumber for crunch
  • Optional: toasted pumpkin seeds (pepitas) for topping

Instructions

  1. Peel and dice the mangoes into bite-sized 1/2-inch cubes using a sharp knife.
  2. Place the diced mango in a mixing bowl. Squeeze the juice of one lime over the mango and add 1/4 teaspoon sea salt. Toss gently to coat evenly.
  3. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon chili powder or Tajín seasoning over the mango mixture. Toss lightly and taste; adjust seasoning if desired.
  4. Spoon the mango mixture evenly into small serving cups, leaving space on top for chamoy sauce.
  5. Drizzle about 1 tablespoon of chamoy sauce over each cup.
  6. If desired, garnish with fresh mint leaves, chopped cucumber, or toasted pumpkin seeds.
  7. Serve immediately or chill for up to 2 hours before serving. Keep chamoy separate if preparing ahead to avoid sogginess.

Notes

Use ripe but firm mangoes for best texture. Drizzle chamoy just before serving to prevent sogginess. Adjust chili powder to taste, starting with less if sensitive to spice. Pre-cut mango can be used for convenience but fresh tastes best. Store mango and chamoy separately if prepping ahead.
