Heat oven to 400°F. Spray insides of 4 ovenproof 2-cup soup bowls with CRISCO® Original No-Stick Cooking Spray.** Set aside.

Spray 1 side of each tortilla with CRISCO® Original No-Stick Cooking Spray. Sprinkle cumin and 1/2 teaspoon salt evenly over sprayed sides of tortillas. Press tortillas, seasoned sides up, in bowls. Place bowls in 15x10x1-inch pan. Bake 5 to 7 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Remove tortillas from bowls; place upside down on cooling rack. Cool completely.

In large bowl, mix chicken and 1 1/3 cups mango. In small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon lime juice and the avocado. Add avocado and remaining salad ingredients to chicken mixture; mix well. Add vinaigrette; mix well.

To serve, spoon chicken salad into tortilla bowls. (Bowls will be full.) Serve immediately.

*One large mango provides enough mango for both the vinaigrette and salad.
**Foil balls can be used instead of bowls. Cut 4 (25x12-inch) pieces of foil. Slightly crush each to make 4-inch ball; flatten slightly. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Spray and season tortillas as directed; gently shape to fit over each foil ball, seasoned side toward foil. Bake as directed.
