Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup fresh peaches, diced

1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 jalapeño, minced (seeds removed for less heat)

Juice of 2 limes

1 tsp honey or agave syrup

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

8 small corn or flour tortillas

1 avocado, sliced (for garnish)

1/2 cup crumbled feta or queso fresco (optional)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a medium bowl, mix the cumin, smoked paprika, lime juice, honey, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and ensure they’re fully coated in the marinade. Let them marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours for more flavor).

    Prepare the Peach Salsa: In another bowl, combine the diced peaches, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and set aside to let the flavors meld.

      Cook the Chicken: Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Let it rest for a few minutes afterward.

        Warm the Tortillas: While the chicken rests, warm the tortillas on a dry skillet over low heat for about 30 seconds on each side, just until pliable.

          Shred the Chicken: After resting, shred the grilled chicken using two forks or chop it into bite-sized pieces.

            Assemble the Tacos: On each tortilla, add a portion of shredded chicken, top with a generous scoop of peach salsa, and garnish with avocado slices and crumbled feta if using.

              Serve: Serve the tacos with extra lime wedges on the side for squeezing. Enjoy your refreshing and flavorful peach salsa chicken tacos!
