Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

8 small corn or flour tortillas

1 medium ripe peach, diced

1/2 red onion, finely chopped

1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (adjust to taste)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 1 lime

1 avocado, sliced (for topping)

Crumbled feta or cotija cheese (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat them well with the spice mixture. Let it marinate for at least 20 minutes for best flavor.

    Cook the Chicken: In a grill pan or skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

      Make the Peach Salsa: While the chicken is resting, prepare the peach salsa. In a mixing bowl, combine the diced peach, chopped red onion, minced jalapeño, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Season with salt to taste. Stir until everything is well mixed.

        Warm the Tortillas: In a dry skillet over low heat, warm the tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they are soft and pliable.

          Assemble the Tacos: On each tortilla, layer a few slices of the grilled chicken, a generous spoonful of peach salsa, and a couple of avocado slices. Top with crumbled feta or cotija cheese if desired.

            Serve and Enjoy: Serve the tacos immediately with extra lime wedges on the side for squeezing. Enjoy the refreshing flavors of the peach salsa with the savory chicken!
