Ingredients
  

For the Cherry Filling:

2 cups fresh or frozen cherries, pitted and halved

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

For the Creamy Coconut Sauce:

1 cup canned coconut cream

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of sea salt

For the Tacos:

10 mini flour or corn tortillas

Zest of 1 lime

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cherry Filling:

    - In a medium saucepan, combine the pitted and halved cherries with granulated sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Keep cooking until the cherries release their juices and the mixture begins to bubble, which should take about 5-7 minutes.

      - If you prefer a thicker filling, dissolve the cornstarch in one tablespoon of water in a small bowl. Stir this slurry into the cherry mixture and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until it thickens to your liking. Once thickened, remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.

        Make the Creamy Coconut Sauce:

          - In a mixing bowl, add the coconut cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Whisk the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. For optimal flavor and texture, chill the sauce in the refrigerator while you prepare the tacos.

            Warm the Tortillas:

              - Heat the mini tortillas on a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they are warm and slightly toasted. This will enhance their flavor and make them more pliable.

                Assemble the Tacos:

                  - Place a generous spoonful of the cherry filling onto each tortilla. Drizzle a good amount of the creamy coconut sauce over the top to add richness.

                    Garnish:

                      - Brighten your tacos by sprinkling lime zest over each one. If you choose, add fresh mint leaves as a fragrant garnish to elevate the presentation.

                        Serve:

                          - Enjoy these delightful cherry tacos immediately while they are warm. For an added treat, offer extra coconut sauce on the side for drizzling.
