How To Make A Mango Rose

This mango rose may look fancy, but it’s as easy as it gets to make and very satisfying. Mango season runs May-September; and right now is the perfect time to buy them. If you were to go to Mexico, this preparation is a very common and popular street food snack. Peeled mangos get turned into roses, sprayed with lime juice, and covered with Tajin seasoning. Tajin can be found at just about every grocery store. It consists of dried ground chili peppers, dried lime juice, and salt. Sprinkled on a mango, it gives a perfect contrast of sweet, salty, sour, and spicy.
