Notes
- Microwave - You can place the tortillas on a microwave safe plate with a damp paper towel wrapped around them for 15 seconds.
- Yield - This recipe yields 10 small tacos. I typically like to serve 2-3 tacos per person.
- Peach Salsa - You can make your own peach salsa or by store bought.
Warming Tortillas - There are a few ways to warm tortillas.
Microwave - You can place the tortillas on a microwave safe plate with a damp paper towel wrapped around them for 15 seconds. Oven - Place the tortillas in aluminum foil (wrapping the foil all around the tortillas). Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 5 minutes or until warmed.
