In a small saucepan over low heat, combine ½ cup red wine vinegar with 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and ½ teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper until the sugar and salt dissolve. Slice ~ 3 shallots and 1 peach and place in a bowl and then pour the vinegar mixture over the top. Let sit for 1 hour or refrigerate and enjoy for up to 2 weeks.
Directions
- 1. Combine marinade ingredients in a large bowl and whisk thoroughly. Place chicken breasts and marinade into a sealable plastic bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
2. When the chicken is ready to cook, heat a grill or an indoor grill pan over medium high heat. When the grill is hot, grill the chicken breasts on one side for 8 minutes, flip, and cook for another 8 minutes until the chicken breasts are fully cooked and a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of meat reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
3. Set the chicken aside and lightly grill the corn tortillas.
4. Slice the chicken thinly and assemble the tacos by layering chicken, sliced avocado, and pickled shallots & peaches onto each tortilla and then top with crumbles of cotija cheese and chopped fresh cilantro.
