Ingredients

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup apricot preserves
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste
8 small corn or flour tortillas
1 cup diced fresh apricots
1/4 cup chopped red onion

Instructions

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix apricot preserves, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat well. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Grill the Chicken: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Prepare the Salsa: In a separate bowl, combine diced apricots, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice. Mix well and set aside.
Warm the Tortillas: Heat the tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side until warm and pliable.
Assemble the Tacos: Slice the grilled chicken and place it on the warmed tortillas. Top with apricot salsa and any additional garnishes like jalapeños or feta cheese.
Serve: Enjoy the tacos immediately while warm.
