Don’t act like Cinco de Mayo isn’t one of your favorite holidays. In case every Taco Tuesday wasn’t enough, here’s an extra shot at celebrating your love for Mexican food. But don’t blow it by making tacos for the thousandth time. Shoot for something a little more flavorful and complex, like this chicken burrito recipe. The citrus marinade brings these burritos to life, while the slightly spice mango salsa plays a real supporting role. Simply add cheese and lettuce to round out the scene – and that’s a wrap on dinner!
