Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 kiwis peeled and mashed
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 8 small whole wheat tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 kiwi sliced (for garnish)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine mashed kiwi, lime juice, olive oil, honey, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well. Tip: Use ripe kiwi for a sweeter marinade.
  2. Add chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes. Tip: Marinate longer for deeper flavor.
  3. Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F). Tip: Avoid overcooking to keep the chicken juicy.
  4. Remove chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice into thin strips. Tip: Resting ensures the juices redistribute.
  5. Warm tortillas on the grill or in a skillet for 30 seconds per side. Tip: Wrap tortillas in foil to keep them warm.
  6. Assemble tacos by placing chicken strips on tortillas. Top with shredded cabbage, cilantro, and sliced kiwi. Tip: Add a drizzle of lime juice for extra zest.
