This recipe uses basic ingredients that you can easily find at any big grocery store. Here’s what you’ll need:

• Orange juice: This adds sweetness, tartness, and the liquid needed to mix everything in the food processor.
• Granulated sugar: The amount of sugar will be determined by the sweetness of your mangoes, or if you prefer your mexican mangonada on the sweeter side.
• Tajín chili powder: A popular Mexican condiment -like a chili lime seasoning- that’s great on fruits, veggies, and even candy! You can find it in the international food aisle of any big grocery store or mexican food store.
• Chamoy: A spicy sauce made with salty chamoy, which can also be found in the same place as Tajín. You might even find an option with the same brand!

How to make chamoyadas de mango

Start by pouring some spicy chamoy sauce into a shallow dish or plate. In a separate dish, pour some Tajín chili powder.

Dip the rim of your glass into the hot sauce, coating it evenly, then dip the coated rim of your glass into the chile-lime salt powder, twisting the glass slightly to ensure an even coating. Set aside.

Now, it’s time to make the mangonada mixture.

In a food processor, combine the frozen mango, orange juice, and cane sugar (if needed) until you have a frozen mixture that resembles the consistency of a smoothie.

Pour the frozen mango mixture halfway into your prepared glass, then add chamoy sauce and Tajín. Fill the rest of your glass with more mango mixture.

Top off your delicious mangonada with some fresh mango cubes or pieces, a drizzle of chamoy, and a sprinkle of chile-lime seasoning. Make sure to serve it cold and enjoy!

Expert tips for the best Mangonada

1. Use fresh, ripe mangoes. The quality of your mangoes is key to a delicious mangonada. Choose mangoes that are fragrant and yield to gentle pressure.
2. Choose a good quality chili powder. The spicy flavor of your chili powder can make or break your mangonada. Use a chili powder that is both spicy and flavorful, like Tajín.
3. Balance the sweetness. Mangoes are naturally sweet, but you may need to add a bit of sugar to your mangonada to balance the flavors. Taste as you go and adjust the sweetness to your liking.
4. Blend it well. A smooth and creamy texture is key to a great mangonada. Blend your mangoes thoroughly to ensure a silky texture.
5. Experiment with different flavors. Once you’ve mastered the basic mangonada, try experimenting with different flavors. For example, you could add a splash of coconut milk or swap out the chili powder for a different spice blend.
6. Remember, making a great mangonada takes practice, so don’t be afraid to experiment and have fun with it!
