Mango Con Chile (Chile Lime Mango and Papaya)
Mango Con Chile – A vibrant and mouthwatering treat that perfectly balances sweet and spicy flavors. This street food favorite features juicy, ripe mangoes and papayas generously sprinkled with sugar, salt, chili and cayenne powder and a dash of lime zest, creating a refreshing and irresistible flavor combination.
Why We Love Mango Con Chile
Some of these recipe concepts are so good, that they have no boundaries and are shared across cultures, borders, and even oceans.
This little snack is something I’ve eaten on the streets of many countries with tropical climates. Whether in Central America or Southeast Asia, spicy fruit is a beloved treat.
In Mexico, whole mangoes are commonly served on a stick with lime juice and chile powder. In several South American and Asian countries, mangoes, ripe papayas, and even unripe green papayas are served sliced with a spicy sprinkle over the top.
Here I’ve combined the best of both continents for a snack that can satisfy any craving… sweet, salty, or spicy. And it’s so easy to make too! All you need are fresh mangoes and papayas, and a handful of pantry ingredients and you’ll be able to whip up this tasty treat in no time.
Ingredients You Need
- Ripe mangoes
- Small papayas
- Granulated sugar
- Salt
- Chile powder – preferably ancho powder
- Cayenne powder
- Lime zest
How to Make Mango Con Chile
- Slice the mango flesh away from the pit, then use a small knife to carefully remove the peel from the inside. Halve the papayas and scoop out the seeds, then peel them in the same way as the mangoes.
- Slice the mangoes and papayas into thick strips.
- Mix the sugar, salt, spices, and lime zest in a small bowl.
- Sprinkle the seasoning for papaya and mango slices on top of the fruit. Serve immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions
The fruit itself can last in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. I do not suggest storing the fruit with the seasoning on it. However, if you do, it can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
In many other Spanish-speaking countries like Nicaragua and Costa Rica, they have a seasoning similar to this chile-lime salt and they use it on many fruits.
You can sprinkle this on pineapple, watermelon, popsicles (paletas), eggs, and even on the rim of your alcoholic beverages (like beer and margaritas).

Mango with chili and lemon is my favorite snack! I’ve never made the seasoning myself before, I buy Tajin which is basically chili with lemon and I guess other stuff that are not as healthy. I’m guessing you mix taste very similar so I’m going to start making it myself! Oh, and it also tastes AMAZING with popcorn.

I’ve been away from your blog for too long! This looks so good. I always enjoy mangoes and papayas while traveling in Brazil, though I haven’t seen them add spices. Spicy food for the most part hasn’t really caught on there yet. I am sure that I’d love this simple dish. It is so cute the way you prepared it: it looks like a cone of sweet potato fries.
