Today’s Unique Dish: Spiced Pineapple Tacos

I’m excited to share a fun and flavorful recipe that’s perfect for a sunny summer day. These Spiced Pineapple Tacos are a unique twist on classic street food, combining sweet and spicy flavors for a delicious and satisfying meal.

For this recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • 1 whole pineapple, diced
  • 2 bell peppers, thinly sliced
  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 8 tortillas
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 avocado, sliced

Before you start cooking, make sure you have the following kitchen tools ready:

  • cutting board
  • knife
  • skillet
  • spatula
  • mixing bowl

To prepare the Spiced Pineapple Tacos, start by heating a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced pineapple, sliced bell peppers, and red onion to the skillet. Sprinkle on the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Sauté the mixture until the vegetables are tender and caramelized, about 10-12 minutes.

Once the pineapple and veggies are cooked, drizzle the lime juice over the mixture and give it a final toss. Warm the tortillas in a separate skillet or in the oven, then assemble your tacos. Fill each tortilla with the spiced pineapple and vegetable mixture, top with fresh cilantro and sliced avocado.

This recipe makes approximately 8 tacos, with each serving weighing around 200 grams. One serving of these Spiced Pineapple Tacos is about 300 calories.

One clever tip for this dish is to add a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese on top for an extra burst of flavor and creaminess. The saltiness of the cheese pairs perfectly with the sweet and spicy pineapple mixture.

I hope you enjoy making and eating these Spiced Pineapple Tacos as much as I do. Feel free to customize them with your favorite toppings and spices to make them your own. Happy cooking!
