pineapple salsa
I feel like this is an never ending dish, tacos al pastor. Not really but the bits make a difference. Fresh bits make even more of a difference. The last thing that needs to be made is a pineapple salsa to top the taco. It just adds a bit of sweet and hot. Just finishes it. And then you can also use the rest of the salsa on other tacos if you have eaten all the pastor.
pineapple salsa
1/2 pineapple, cored and chopped into small pieces
1/2 minced onion (I used what I had which was a yellow onion but the original recipe called for a purple)
1 or 2 habanero chiles, minced (2 is pushing the heat factor)
juice of one lime
a handful of mint, chopped (I picked mine from the garden. Do not use the mint. It brightens the flavor)
In a bowl, mix the pineapple, onion, chile, lime juice, and mint. Mix well. If you really think it needs it, add a sprinkle of salt.
Scoop on top of tacos.
It is really that simple but it just adds a nice bit of flavor. Brightness and heat.
I had to write it down somewhere!
