Spicy Pork Tacos with Peach and Corn Salsa
These tacos have a bit of heat to them, so they’re nice with a cool peach salsa and a spoonful of sour cream, or plain Greek yogurt on top. Serve with a side of refreshing sliced avocado, tomatoes and cucumber.

Instructions
  1. Cut the pork chops into quarters, and pound between two sheets of waxed paper until about 1/2-inch thick.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, lime juice, garlic, and seasonings, and whisk together well.
  3. Place the chops in a shallow dish and cover with the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2-4 hours.
  4. While the chops marinate, mix the corn, green onions, parsley, mint, honey, and olive oil together in a medium bowl. Fold in the diced peaches, covering all of the pieces well with the herb mixture. Chill in the fridge until ready to serve.
  5. Heat the grill to medium (325-350°F) and grill the chops for 3-4 minutes. Turn and grill for another 3 minutes on the other side.
  6. Remove from heat and let the chops rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly across the grain.
  7. Heat eight tortillas on the grill just until blistered. Fill with sliced pork, peach salsa, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and chopped onions. Top with crumbled Cotija cheese or a dollop of sour cream.
