Mango goes well with any kind of protein for more reason than just its taste: It contains an enzyme that tenderizes meat. Mango’s sweet-sour flavor combines well with lemon, tomato, and spicy flavors in this salad, served up for fun wrapped in lettuce leaves. To make this dish more substantial, add cooked rice―you can still serve as a lettuce wrap.

Look for bottled mango in the refrigerated food section of the produce department. Roasted bottled bell pepper is usually in the condiment aisle near the olives
