Ingredients for Grilled Peach & Pork Tacos
Here are my tips for the main ingredients you’ll need to prepare these delicious pork tacos! Find the full list of ingredients in the printable recipe card below.
- Smithfield Hickory Smoked Brown Sugar Dry Seasoned Pork Chops – these pre-seasoned pork chops are incredibly flavorful!
- Peaches – sweet, tree-ripened peaches work best for this recipe. You can use canned, halved peaches in a pinch.
- Tortillas – I recommend using extra small flour or corn tortillas. This recipe will work with regular taco-sized tortillas, too.
- Guacamole – you can use store-bought guacamole, or follow my simple recipe for a homemade version.
- Fresh Cilantro – a must for that refreshing flavor!
- Limes – I love having lots of refreshing lime juice on these delicious pork tacos!
Grilling Smithfield Pork Chops & Peaches
These incredible grilled pork tacos start with the pork! I love using Smithfield Hickory Smoked Brown Sugar Dry Seasoned Pork Chops – the meat is already perfectly seasoned and ready to grill!
- Preheat the grill to 475F, then keep on a medium flame. Meanwhile, remove the Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork Chops out of the packaging and cut in half, to reduce cooking time. Slice the peaches in half. Once the grill is hot, add the pork chops and peaches, open face down first.
- Grill the pork chops 7 to 8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160F. Close the grill lid for faster cooking. Grill the peaches for 4 to 5 minutes, until nicely grilled, then turn and grill on the other side for a few minutes.
- Heat the tortillas last: grill the tortillas for a minute or two on each side, just enough to warm and slightly char them. Keep the warmed tortillas in a basket lined with a cloth napkin or tea towel.
Making Grilled Peach Salsa & Guacamole
For the ultimate seasonal topping for these tacos, I make my own grilled peach salsa! Grilled peaches are simply heavenly! Sweet and smoky and perfect for salsa. If you’re short on time, just dice the peaches and add them to a bowl of store-bought pico de gallo or salsa.
- After grilling the peaches, peel away the peach skins, then use a sharp serrated knife to dice the peaches. Add the diced peaches into a large bowl.
- Seed, then dice the large tomato and add to the bowl along with the diced shallot and cilantro. Add a squeeze of lime juice from 1 lime and season to taste with salt.
- Toss the ingredients together gently.
- Making homemade guacamole? Scoop out the avocado flesh into a large bowl and add the diced shallot, lime juice, salt, cilantro, sour cream and garlic powder (optional). Use a large fork or a potato masher to crush the avocado into a puree.
How to Make Grilled Peach & Pork Tacos
- Allow the pork chops to rest for 7 to 8 minutes, then use a sharp knife to dice the meat into small pieces.
- To assemble the tacos, start by spreading about 1 to 1 ½ tablespoons of guacamole over the warm tortilla. Sprinkle with a tablespoon of queso cheese.
- Top with a generous amount of diced pork chops and the grilled peach salsa. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top and add hot sauce, if desired.
