Very good. My kids weren't very impressed, but they aren't familiar with mangos. I thought the salsa was definately worth making on its own. Also, I used the lasagna meat , added kidney beans, and turned the last of it into chili! Poured the chili over chips and added the mango salsa for another twist. These recipes are keepers.

I haven't had tacos in ages, and when I made this for my fiance and I, we ended up eating 5 TACOS EACH!!! The salsa is fantastic with a cool, sweet flavor but a bit of a kick. Here are the alterations that I made and loved: I did 1lb of browned ground beef instead of lasagna mix; I doubled the chili powder for the ground beef to add more flavor, put in a few splashes of hot sauce, did salt & pepper & of course the cumin. In the salsa, I added a green chili, but next time I think I will do another jalapeno to make it a little hotter. Put some hot sauce out next to the rest of the taco fixings, and it was perfect. Definitely try this one! Quick, easy & delicious!

This recipe is fantastic for those "what am I going to make for dinner?" days. It's fantastic, and the spice from the jalapeno gives it an amazing kick.
