PROS

These cilantro lime chicken tacos are bursting with flavors and textures that will satisfy your taste buds.
The mango and black bean salsa provides a refreshing and sweet contrast to the tangy and savory chicken, while the cotija cheese adds a nutty and salty finish.

CONS

Due to the use of sour cream and cotija cheese, these tacos are not vegan or dairy-free.
They also contain corn tortillas and black beans, which some people may be sensitive or allergic to.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

This recipe is high in protein and fiber, thanks to the chicken and black beans. The mango in the salsa is rich in vitamins and antioxidants, while the cilantro and lime juice can aid in digestion and boost your immune system. However, because the dish contains cheese and sour cream, it is also high in calories and fat. As with any meal, portion control is key.
