Instructions
Night Before
1. Make the cabbage slaw: Combine all the ingredients for the slaw and mix thoroughly. Transfer to an airtight container and place in the fridge overnight.
2. Make the mango salsa: Finely dice the mango, peaches, red onion, jalapenos, bell pepper, and tomatoes (about ⅛ or 1/16 inch pieces). Mix together with the rest of the salsa ingredients. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired. Transfer to an airtight container and place in the fridge overnight.
Next Day
1. If you don't want to make the salsa and slaw the night before, make them first and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes!
2. Combine all the marinade ingredients and chicken, cover and marinate for minimum of 30 minutes (you can also marinate the chicken the night before).
3. Preheat grill 400°F. Then cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side. Chicken breasts are cooked through when the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
4. Remove chicken from the grill and let rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
5. Warm up your tortillas by placing them on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side.
6. Assemble your tacos and enjoy!
