Hispanic Heritage Month
The National Mango Board is thrilled to celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month! This month-long celebration from September 15th to October 15th is seen as a time in the U.S. to honor the generations of Hispanic Americans who have impacted and enriched our nation. With most mangos in the U.S. being imported from Latin American countries, we’re certain that some Hispanic Americans have connections with mango – the culture, the industry, and the superfruit.
As we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month and honor the champions who inspire us, we recognize and celebrate our chef partners who are bringing Hispanic flavors to life with delicious mango recipes. We invite you to check out these chef creations and try them at home!

Mangonada is a popular frozen treat found across Mexico and other Hispanic countries. It combines sweet, tart and savory flavors, making this a truly unique drink experience. Delicious and refreshing, Mixologist Tony makes this version with fresh mango, chamoy, lime juice, agave nectar and Tajin seasoning, topped with a tamarind candy.
Roasted Mango Salsa by Chef Jason Hernandez
Salsa is becoming a table staple, an easy way to add bold flavor to any meal. Chef Jason roasts mango and other veggies in the oven for charring and caramelization, before blending it all together. This roasted mango salsa is so versatile, it can be used for breakfast burritos, nachos, tacos and more.
Mango Noodles with Mango Aguachile by Chef Mikal Anthony
Did you know that unripe mango can be used to make noodles similar to zucchini and other vegetable noodles? In this recipe, Chef Mikel (in partnership with Chef’s Roll) uses mango, lime, lemon, orange and jalapeno to create a delicious mango aguachile sauce that pairs with mango noodles, shrimp and red onions. It’s a stunning, delightful dish.
