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.
