2. Combine all mango salsa ingredients in medium bowl. (Salsa can be made 4 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
3. Heat nonstick grillpan over high heat until hot; brush with oil. Add chicken; reduce heat to medium. Cook 9 to 12 minutes or until no longer pink in center, turning once. Remove chicken. Cover loosely with foil; let stand 3 minutes before slicing diagonally.
4. Meanwhile, warm tortillas on same grillpan over medium heat 1 minute or until pliable, turning once. Top tortillas with chicken, 1/2 cup of the mango salsa and cheese. Serve with remaining salsa.

Today's Tip: Storing Breadcrumbs
Freshly made breadcrumbs will keep for a week or more in a tightly closed jar in the refrigerator, or in the freezer for up to six months. Really dry or toasted breadcrumbs will keep for a couple of weeks in a tightly covered jar in the cellar or in a cool, dry, airy cupboard. If you live in a drier climate, you may even be able to keep them longer; if you live in a humid climate, you'll probably see that they don't last as long.
Great Recipe! I'm going to try the mango salsa!!!!
