    1 In a medium bowl, combine diced mango, chopped chilli, onion, coriander and 1 tablespoon of the lime juice. Set aside.

    2 In a medium bowl, place shredded cabbage and 2 tablespoons of the lime juice. Use your hands to massage the juice into the cabbage until it turns a brighter purple colour.

    3 Preheat barbecue hotplate or grill pan to medium-high heat. Spray chicken bites lightly with oil and grill for 2–3 minutes each side, until cooked.

    4 Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine black beans, avocado and tomatoes. Combine extra 2 teaspoons lime juice with 2 teaspoons olive oil, pour over mixture and toss well to combine.

    5 Heat tortillas according to packet instructions.

    6 To assemble tacos, distribute the cabbage and the bean mix among the warmed tortillas. Add chicken bites and top with mango salsa. Drizzle over Tabasco sauce, to taste, if using.
