Instructions
- Peel the mangoes and cut the flesh away from the pit. Chop the flesh into small pieces and place in a large bowl. Chop the tomato into small pieces and add to the mango.
- Add the lime zest and juice, chili pepper, garlic, cilantro and chives. Stir well, then season lightly with salt and pepper. Spoon into a serving bowl, cover and refrigerate while preparing the tortilla chips.
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Cut each tortilla into 6 wedges using kitchen scissors. Spread out the wedges on a large baking sheet and bake until crisp and firm, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool.
- To serve, place the bowl of salsa on one side of a large serving platter and scatter the tortilla chips next to it.
