Prepare the Mangoes: Peel the mangoes and cut them into small, even cubes.

Chop the Vegetables: Finely chop the habanero pepper, red bell pepper, and red onion. Be careful when handling the habanero pepper; it’s very spicy. You may want to wear gloves to avoid getting the pepper oils on your skin.

Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the diced mangoes, chopped habanero, red bell pepper, and red onion.

Add Cilantro and Lime Juice: Add the chopped cilantro to the bowl. Squeeze the juice of two limes over the mixture.
