Classic tequila shots are fun, but these boozy mango bites are an elevated, fruity take that's even better. To make them, we soaked mango chunks in a mixture of lime juice and tequila, then dipped them into lime and chili salt for margarita-inspired bites that are soon to be your new party staple. Bonus: You can even keep the infused tequila to shoot or add to your favorite cocktail later! Make these bites, and you'll have a summer favorite to turn to again and again.
If you're really not a fan, you can leave out the chili powder, but we highly recommend it to add a bit of a contrasting bite to these mangos. Have Tajín on hand? Use that instead.
