These were delicious and VERY easy! The hardest part is slicing the mango. I made them the evening before a lunch with a few friends and they kept well in the fridge overnight. We all loved them and there were certainly no leftovers! Picture of the ones I made here: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150653930755193&l=6fa4266588

Ask for paper-thin slices of meat at the deli counter. To ease prep, look for a package of presliced mango in the produce section. We do not recommend jarred mango slices—they're too soft.
