Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use canned or frozen peaches instead of fresh ones?
A: Fresh peaches are recommended for the best texture and flavor when grilled, but you can use canned peaches if fresh ones are not available. Make sure to drain them well and pat them dry before grilling. Frozen peaches are not ideal as they may become too soft and mushy when grilled.
Q: What can I use as a substitute for smoked paprika?
A: If you don’t have smoked paprika, you can use regular paprika and add a small pinch of liquid smoke or ground chipotle powder to maintain a smoky flavor. Alternatively, try chili powder for a slightly different flavor profile.
Q: How do I store leftovers, and can they be reheated?
A: Store leftover grilled peaches and slaw separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The tortillas can also be stored in a sealed bag or container, but they are best when freshly grilled. To reheat the peaches, warm them briefly in a skillet or microwave, but note they may become softer upon reheating.
Q: Can I make this recipe vegan?
A: Yes, to make this recipe vegan, replace the mayonnaise in the slaw dressing with a vegan mayonnaise or a creamy alternative like tahini. Omit the queso fresco or substitute it with a plant-based cheese crumble.
Q: What are some good protein options to add to these tacos?
A: To make the tacos heartier, you can add grilled shrimp, black beans, or grilled tofu. Marinate the protein with a similar spice blend used for the peaches to maintain a cohesive flavor profile.
Q: Can I make the components of this recipe ahead of time?
A: Yes, you can prepare the cilantro slaw and honey-lime drizzle up to 24 hours in advance. Grill the peaches no more than a few hours before serving for the best flavor and texture, and warm the tortillas just before assembly.
Q: Are there alternative toppings I can use?
A: You can customize these tacos with additional toppings such as sliced avocado, pickled onions, or a drizzle of hot sauce for extra heat. Toasted nuts like pecans or almonds can also add a nice crunch.
