Mango Chicken Tortilla Skillet

This mango chicken tortilla skillet is an easy, one dish meal that’s so full of flavor! Everyone will love this healthy, gluten-free dinner recipe.

We have a Mexican dish in our meal plan just about every week. It’s one category of food that everyone in my family can agree on, so it makes for an easy, no-stress dinner. Somehow the taco seasoning masks the things my kids typically complain about, so I go through a lot of it.

This mango chicken tortilla skillet is a delicious variation on our typical taco night spread. I love the tangy flavor of tomatillos in this dish, and the mango adds just the right amount of sweetness. By cooking the chicken in small, bite-sized pieces, I can get this meal on the table in less than 20 minutes. It doesn’t get any easier than that in my house!

For a dairy-free version, you can omit the cheese. It’s perfectly flavored without it, but some members of my family think cheese is essential to a good Mexican dinner. And if you can’t find tomatillos, substitute a little salsa verde.
