GRILLED CHICKEN STREET TACOS WITH PEACH SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium. Clean the grill surface and brush with oil.
• Prepare CHICKEN BREASTS by lightly coating with OLIVE OIL and sprinkling SALT, PEPPER, and CUMIN over the surface. Allow chicken to sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes (this helps it cook more evenly when it's on the grill).
• To grill chicken breasts, place them in the center of the hot grill, close the lid, and set a timer for 3-5 minutes, or until chicken easily releases from the grill and shows well-defined grill marks.
• Next, turn the outside grill burners to MEDIUM and center grill burner to OFF. This is known as MOM = medium-off-medium, which creates indirect heat under the chicken and allows it to bake like it's in an oven.
• Open the grill lid and flip chicken breasts over, keeping them in the center of the grill. Close the grill lid and continue cooking until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°.
• Warm the tortillas and thinly slice the CHICKEN BREAST to scatter evenly among them; top with PEACH or MANGO SALSA; FRESH CORN, COTIJA CHEESE, CILANTRO, and LIME WEDGES.

GRILLED CHICKEN TACOS

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium heat.
• Mix the oil, chili powder and 1 teaspoon salt together in a small bowl to make a paste. Pound the chicken breasts between 2 pieces of plastic wrap to about 1/2-inch thick. Rub the chicken all over with the chili paste.
• Lightly oil the grill grates. Grill the chicken until firm to the touch and cooked through, flipping once, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Set aside to rest for 5 minutes, then shred the meat into bite-size pieces or cut into strips. Warm the tortillas on the grill and wrap in a kitchen towel to stay warm.
• Serve the chicken tacos with shredded cheese, pickled jalapenos, shredded lettuce and/or salsa for topping.

GRILLED CHICKEN TACOS WITH STRAWBERRY SALSA

Steps:

• Put the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and add the oil, tequila, chili powder, cumin, the grated zest of both limes and some salt and pepper. Seal the bag and squish it all together. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
• While the chicken is marinating, make the salsa. Put the strawberries in a bowl along with the onions, bell peppers, jalapenos and most of the cilantro, reserving some for garnish. Add some salt and the juice of 1 of the limes. Mix it all together, cover and refrigerate.
• Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the bag, shaking off any excess marinade. Grill until the chicken is well browned and cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Remove and let rest on a plate. When just cool enough to handle, shred the chicken with a fork.
• To serve: remove the salsa from the fridge, taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or lime juice. Heat the tortillas over a flame or in a microwave and keep warm. Fill a tortilla with some of the shredded chicken and top with some salsa. Serve topped with extra cilantro and the cheese, if using. Cut some wedges from the remaining lime to serve on the side.
