Make
- If making chicken on the grill: Preheat grill to 500F (260C) degrees, keeping one part on higher heat and another part on lower heat. Clean grates and brush with some oil. Add chicken breast halves over direct heat. Sear on each side for ~3 minutes (keeping cover closed). Move to lower heat and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes (or until chicken is cooked through) with cover closed. Warm tortillas in the grill during the last 2 to 3 minutes.
- If making chicken on the stovetop: Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush pan with some oil and then add chicken to hot grill pan and sear for ~3 minutes on both sides. Lower heat and then cover with foil, cooking for another 2 to 3 minutes. Warm tortillas according to package instructions.
- Let chicken rest for ~5 minutes. Chop into bite-sized pieces and toss with second part of the marinade.
- Set out your taco bar of tortillas, chicken, and salsa and let everyone assemble their own tacos!

Made both tempeh and rotisserie chicken tacos- chicken were voted bette by the family. Used celery instead of onions in the amazing peach salsa. Added avocado and served corn on the cob on the side. Good easy meal.
0 HelpfulDelicious tacos. Used frozen corn instead, which worked fine, although I didn't measure and it was out of proportion to the peaches. The marinade was great.
0 HelpfulMaybe the chicken didn't marinate long enough, but it didn't really have a flavor. Liked the salsa, though!
