Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced

1 ripe peach, diced

1/2 cup red bell pepper, finely chopped

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional for heat)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon honey

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and pepper, to taste

8 small corn tortillas

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once heated, add the red onion and bell pepper, sautéing for about 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.

    Add Peaches and Chicken: Stir in the diced peach and jalapeño (if using). Cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the peaches to release their juices. Then, add the cooked chicken to the skillet.

      Season the Mixture: Drizzle the honey over the chicken mixture and season with smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir well to incorporate all the flavors and cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the chicken to heat through.

        Warm the Tortillas: While the chicken mixture is cooking, warm the corn tortillas. You can do this by heating them on a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side or wrapping them in a damp paper towel and heating them in the microwave for about 30 seconds.

          Assemble the Tacos: Spoon a generous portion of the peach chicken mixture onto each warmed tortilla.

            Garnish and Serve: Top each taco with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.
