Rainbow of colors and flavors in your plate and your mouth. This dish is very easy to make, but you get that “wow” effect when you serve and eat it. It’s absolutely delicious and no any sauce is needed. Mango salsa gives so much flavor or moisture to the dish, not to mention, that the meat is juicy and flavorful by it self.
Less talking, let’s fire up the grill and make some dinner!
