Grilled Tex-Mex Chicken with Spicy Peach and Plum Salsa
The sweetness of the peaches and plums contrast beautifully with the spicy jalapeño in the salsa and the full-flavoured spiced chicken. If you like your food really fiery, stir an extra jalapeño into the salsa. It’s delicious with fish and pork as well. Or barbecue extra chicken, then slice and serve in tortilla wraps with grilled red peppers and onions, the salsa and sour cream.
