Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb chicken, cut in cubes try
2 mangoes, cut in 1-inch cubes (make sure it isn'tsp too ripe, you want sweet but firm , papaya is a good substitute)
1 -2 red bell pepper, cut in 1-inch pieces (optional)
3 medium onions, cut in quarters
1 lime, cut in wedges
2 -2 1/2 tbsp mexican seasoning (see mexican seasoning recipe below, if you have a favorite dry rub or seasoning , you can use that as)
wooden skewer ( soaked in water for 30 min , so they don'tsp burn)
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp ground red chili powder (not chili powder that you use for chili con carne, cayenne is a good substitute)
1 tsp mexican oregano (every day dried oregano is fine)
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp cocoa
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper

Directions:

Dry Rub - Mix all the ingredients in a small ziploc baggie and store until ready to use. I keep mine right in a small baggie in my spice cabinet, but you can use a small tupperware or spice bottle. It keeps great in your pantry or spice cabinet.
Chicken - Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a large baggie along with chicken and shake to coat all the chicken with the oil. Add in the 2-21/2 tablespoons of the dry rub seasoning and shake well to combine well. Let marinate.
Skewer - I like to use the large wooden skewers and alternate chicken, mango or papaya, red pepper if you are adding that, and onion. Just leave a little room in between the chicken pieces so they cook evenly. Don't over fill your skewer.
Grill - I always season my grill with either a non stick spray or oil before starting so the chicken will not stick. Medium high coals or heat. They don't take to long. Make sure to get a good sear or grill marks on each side before turning. Mine usually take about 5-7 minutes per side. Cook until the juices run clear. Don't overcook.
Serve - I usually start the queso sauce right before I start grilling the chicken so it is done when the chicken is. Serve the chicken over rice with the lime wedges so you can squeeze the lime right over the chicken. My Black Beans Recipe listed above (which can even be made the day before) is great with this and makes an easy dinner or my Salad with Lime Vinaigrette(also listed above) is a nice side and again (prepare the vinaigrette ahead), so it is just a few ingredients and you have a quick salad. ENJOY!
Note: Prep time does not include time to marinate chicken.
