Ingredients
  

8 small corn tortillas

2 ripe peaches, diced

1 cup fresh mozzarella cheese, diced

1 ripe avocado, sliced thinly

1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, roughly chopped

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

Juice of 1 lime

1 tablespoon honey

Sea salt, to taste

Cracked black pepper, to taste

Optional: 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes for added heat

Instructions
 

Prepare the Peaches: Begin by dicing the ripe peaches into small, uniform pieces. While peeling is optional, keeping the skin adds a vibrant color and a hint of flavor. Transfer the diced peaches into a mixing bowl.

    Mix the Filling: To the bowl containing the peaches, add the diced fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced avocado, chopped basil leaves, and finely chopped red onion. Stir gently to combine the ingredients while maintaining the integrity of the avocado.

      Dress the Filling: Drizzle the juice of one lime and the honey over the filling mixture. Season with sea salt and cracked black pepper according to your taste. If you enjoy a bit of spice, sprinkle in the chili flakes. Carefully fold the mixture together, ensuring the avocado stays intact.

        Prepare the Tortillas: To warm the corn tortillas, heat a skillet over medium heat. Place each tortilla in the skillet for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they become pliable and warm. Alternatively, you can serve them cold for a refreshing touch.

          Assemble the Tacos: Take each tortilla and lay it flat on a plate. Spoon a generous portion of the peach and cheese mixture into the center of each tortilla. Gently fold the tortillas into the shape of soft tacos.

            Chill and Serve: Arrange the assembled tacos on a serving platter. Cover them lightly and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes. This chill time allows the flavors to meld beautifully. Serve them cold as a delightful summer appetizer or a light meal.
