1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp honey
2 cloves garlic minced or grated
3 Tbsp Milford Spice Sweet Heat Honey Chipotle 
1 tsp cumin
Salt & pepper

For Serving:

10-12 street taco tortillas
1-2 cups guacamole
1 cup sharp shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup cotija cheese
Fresh cilantro 
Grilled corn kernels removed, for serving (optional)

For the Tomatillo Peach Salsa:

2 tomatillos
2 peaches quartered
1 jalapeno seeded + chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro
1/4 cup fresh basil
Juice of 2 limes
Salt to taste

DIRECTIONS

  • Thoroughly rub each chicken breast on both sides with the Milford Spice Sweet Heat.  In a large gallon size zip-top bag, combine the rest of the ingredients and the rubbed chicken and toss to combine. Seal and chill at least 1 hour or up to 12 hours.

  • Meanwhile, prepare the salsa.

  • Preheat the broiler to high.

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment. Add the peeled tomatillos and peaches. Place under the broiler for 3-5 minutes, turning once or twice or until the tomatillos are mostly charred all over. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Then add the charred tomatillos and peaches to a blender or food processor. To the blender, add the jalapeno, cilantro, basil, lime juice and salt. Blend until mostly smooth. Pour into a glass jar or serving bowl. Cover and store in the fridge until ready to serve. The sauce can be stored for at least a week in the fridge.

  • Set your grill, grill pan or skillet to medium-high heat.

  • Grill the chicken until lightly charred and cooked through, turning occasionally throughout cooking, about 10 to 12 minutes total. Transfer to a cutting board and allow to rest 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips against the grain or shred.

  • To assemble, spread a little guacamole on a warmed flour tortilla.  Add the chicken, peach salsa and cheese. Garnish with fresh corn, and fresh cilantro
