Total time: 10 min
Ingredients: 1 tablespoon ground chile, such as ancho or paprika; 1 tablespoon fresh lime zest; 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt; 2 ripe mangoes (1 1/2 pounds), peeled, pitted and cut into 1/2-inch slices

This take on the classic street food, served throughout Mexico, is encountered often in open air markets, beaches and parks in summer. The original is often made with tajín spice, a store-bought blend of ground chile, lime and salt. This preparation allows you to use any variety of mango, in states of ripeness from soft and juicy to firm, and the homemade chile-lime salt can be used for a variety of savory or sweet dishes as a garnish or topping. If using store-bought chile-lime salt, substitute the ground chile, lime zest and salt with 2 tablespoons of the seasoning.
