Recipe Q&A

→ How can I adjust the spiciness level?

Reduce or omit jalapeño seeds, or use fewer peppers to make it milder. For more heat, add extra finely chopped jalapeños.

→ What can I substitute for mango?

Pineapple works well as a tropical alternative, offering a similar sweetness with a tart twist.

→ How do I keep the mixture from browning quickly?

Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to limit air exposure, and add fresh lime juice to help preserve the vibrant color.

Prepare shortly before serving for best texture and flavor. If needed, cover tightly and chill up to a few hours.

A medium mixing bowl, fork or potato masher for mashing, sharp knife for chopping, and optionally a citrus juicer for fresh lime juice.
