For the best texture and balance of sweetness and tanginess, use firm mangoes like Tommy Atkins, Kent, or Haden.
Adjust the spice levels by varying the amount of chili powder or adding cayenne for extra heat. If the mixture is too spicy, rinse the mango pieces under water and pat dry.
Lime juice enhances the sweetness and balances the heat, but it's optional if you prefer a more straightforward flavor.
Mangoes are best enjoyed fresh, but firm ones can be refrigerated for up to a day. Avoid storing overly ripe mangoes, as they become too soft.
