Step 1
Char the habanero over an open flame or under the broiler, turning with tongs, until blackened all over, ~2 minutes.
Step 2
Let the habanero cool, then remove the stem and most of the seeds (leave some for heat). Dice finely into a bowl.
Step 3
Peel and pit the mangoes. Cut the flesh into small 1/4-inch dice and add to the bowl.
Step 4
Mince the red onion finely and add to the bowl along with the cilantro.
Step 5
Squeeze the lime juice over everything. Add salt and pepper, then fold gently to combine.
Step 6
Taste and adjust lime, salt, or habanero heat. Serve alongside grilled chicken, sweet potatoes, and zucchini.
