  • 1 tbsp lime juice (15 mL)
  • 1 clove of garlic, minced (1)
  • 1/2 tsp salt (2 mL)
  • 1 Pinch of cayenne pepper
  • 1 can California Cling peach (14 oz/398 mL) (1 can)
  • 2 cup packaged coleslaw or broccoli slaw mix (500 mL)

  • 8 large taco shells or small flour tortillas (8)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, stir mayonnaise with yogurt, lime juice, garlic, salt and cayenne. Drain peaches well and chop. Place in a bowl along with slaw, coriander and half the mayonnaise mixture. Stir.

  2. Sprinkle both sides of chicken with TexMex seasoning and sauté in 1 tbsp (15 mL) of oil in a large frypan until cooked through (approx. 6 to 8 mins. depending on thickness of chicken).

  3. To assemble, warm shells. Add chicken to shells, drizzle with a bit of remaining mayo mixture. Top with slaw. Makes 8 Tacos.
