4 Juice of 4 limes
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 limo chile, seeded and finely chopped
2 sprigs Leaves from 2 cilantro sprigs, finely chopped
Directions
Slice the red onion thinly and place in a medium mixing bowl.
Peel the mangoes, remove the pits, and cut the flesh into 3/4-inch (2 cm) dice. Add to the bowl with the onion.

Seed the limo chile and finely chop it. Add to the bowl along with the salt and stir gently to combine.
Finely chop the cilantro leaves and fold into the mixture.
Let the ceviche rest at room temperature for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve immediately as an appetizer.
Comments
Mango ceviche is a budget-friendly option that runs about $8–10 total for four servings, largely driven by fresh mango and limes in the $3–5 range depending on season. The ingredient list is straightforward at Charlotte chains—red onion, cilantro, salt, and lime are standard—but ají limón (limo chile) is the catch; most Harris Teeter and Kroger stores don't stock it consistently, which means either a trip to a Latin market like Lowe's Foods Latino or a second stop if you shop elsewhere. The stated 20 minutes is honest if mangoes are already ripe and chilled, but plan an extra 10 if you have to ripen them at home, since the chilling time matters to the texture. This is a same-night dish—it doesn't reheat well—and works best as a warm-weather appetizer or light meal for adults or older kids who enjoy acidic, briny flavors.
