Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh cherries, pitted and halved

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)

1 teaspoon lime juice

8 small corn tortillas

1 cup crumbled feta cheese (or dairy-free alternative)

1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped

1 avocado, sliced

1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cherries: In a bowl, combine the halved cherries, olive oil, honey, lime juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss gently to coat the cherries evenly.

    Grill the Cherries: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Once hot, place the cherries cut-side down and grill for about 4-5 minutes, or until they start to caramelize and get grill marks. Remove from the grill and set aside.

      Warm the Tortillas: While the cherries are grilling, warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side, until pliable. Alternatively, you can warm them in a skillet over low heat.

        Assemble the Tacos: Take a warm tortilla and add a generous scoop of grilled cherries. Top with crumbled feta cheese, fresh mint leaves, and avocado slices.

          Add Finishing Touches: If desired, drizzle with sour cream or Greek yogurt for added creaminess, and sprinkle with additional salt and lime juice to taste.

            Serve and Enjoy: Place the assembled tacos on a serving platter and enjoy immediately as a refreshing summer dish or unique appetizer.
