Ingredients
Scale

- juice from 2 limes
- 1 cup red onion, diced fine

- 3/4 teaspoon cumin
- few dashes of hot sauce (1/2 teaspoon) *Cholula is my personal fave for it's flavor and little heat

Notes
- When shopping, buy a couple extra mangos. This is in case you cut them open and they aren't quite ripe or have a bitter flavor. Unfortunately it happens. At only $1-2 dollars each, it's worth it to have a few extras to choose from. Best case scenario, they are all perfectly ripe and you can eat all of your money's worth!
- Look for Mangos that when you gently squeeze them they allow for a bit of give, but still feel firm and never mushy. If they are hard still, they will need to ripen a few more days. If you don't plan on making the recipe for a few days, you can purchase them on the harder side.
- Watch the video tutorial for the BEST way to cut a Mango. Use a small knife or paring knife for cutting.
- Serve with tortilla chips or top tacos, chicken or fish!
