Which kind of Tortillas should I use?
To have the savory experience I’d suggest using Corn Tortillas.
I admit you won’t find them as easily at your grocery stores as the flour ones but believe me the taste is gonna be worth it in the end as well as are lower in calories so it is a win-win situation.
Can I use pork?

Can I use Chicken?
In my opinion, this recipe works better with beef. If you wanna use chicken, check out these recipes:

I don’t like hot food. Would it be too spicy for me?
Well, don’t worry about the spice as the mango salsa balances and cools it down. You will have a taste of both.
Furthermore, we are to add honey and avocados to make it more appetizing.
