Instructions

Peach-Gouda Salsa:

Combine the salsa ingredients in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Barbecue Chicken:

Grease grill grate. Heat grill to medium.
Grill chicken, covered, over medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side, brushing with barbecue sauce after flipping. Repeat, flipping and brushing chicken every 3-4 minutes or until a thermometer inserted into meat reads 165°F, about 15-20 minutes. Transfer chicken to a cutting board; tent with aluminum foil. Let rest for 10 minutes. Thinly slice chicken.

Tacos:

Top tortillas with chicken, salsa and cilantro if desired.

Recipe Tip

Avoid touching face when handling jalapeno peppers. Consider wearing gloves, as oils may burn skin.

Cheesemonger Tip

Do you have questions when shopping for cheese? Ask the cheesemonger! A cheesemonger specializes in the buying and selling of high-quality cheese, usually available in the specialty section of a grocery store or cheese shop. Knowledgeable and passionate, a cheesemonger is a go-to resource for cheese varieties and pairings, proper cheese storage and handling, its cooking applications and cheese brand information.

Fruit and cheese are like best friends—they’re meant to be together. Mild, nutty gouda cheese adds depth and a pleasant bit of saltiness to this salsa.
