Ingredients
  

1 lb ground beef

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

8 small corn or flour tortillas

1 cup fresh cherries, pitted and chopped

1 cup green cabbage, shredded

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 1 lime

1 tablespoon honey

1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

Cook the Beef: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and cook for an additional minute.

    Season the Beef: Increase the heat to medium-high, and add ground beef to the skillet. Sprinkle in the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, around 6-8 minutes.

      Prepare the Cherry Slaw: In a medium bowl, combine the chopped cherries, shredded cabbage, cilantro, lime juice, honey, and salt. Mix well and set aside to marinate for at least 10 minutes.

        Warm the Tortillas: In a dry skillet, warm the tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or until pliable. Keep them warm by covering with a clean kitchen towel.

          Assemble the Tacos: To assemble, place a generous spoonful of the beef mixture onto each tortilla. Top with cherry slaw, allowing the sweet and tangy flavors to balance the hearty beef.

            Serve and Enjoy: Serve tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of freshness.
