Instructions

Make the Salsa

1
In a large mixing bowl, combine pineapple, peaches, red onion, bell pepper, jalapeños, lime juice, and cilantro. Stir gently until everything is evenly combined. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Chilling helps the flavors deepen.

Make the Chicken

2
In a measuring cup, whisk together coconut aminos, garlic, ginger, honey, coconut sugar, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and sriracha.
3
Place chicken breasts in the crockpot in an even layer. Pour sauce over the chicken.
4
Cover and cook on low for 5 hours until chicken is tender.
5
Shred chicken with two forks directly in the crockpot. Cook another 30 minutes so the flavors soak in.
6
Stir in the cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Assemble the Tacos

7
Spoon shredded teriyaki chicken into tortillas of choice. Top with pineapple peach salsa and serve immediately.
