Time 2h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup tomatoes, seeded and diced
1 medium red onion, diced, divided
1 cup diced fresh pineapple
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon white sugar
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch strips
1 lime, juiced
8 (7 inch) tortillas, or more as needed
1 cup shredded lettuce
8 dashes Sriracha sauce, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Combine tomatoes, 1/2 cup diced red onion, pineapple, and cilantro in a medium bowl. Add 1 tablespoon lime juice, salt, and sugar; toss to combine. Cover salsa with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
  • Place the remaining red onion in the bowl of a small food processor. Add juice of one lime and process until finely ground, about 3 minutes.
  • Place chicken strips into a shallow dish. Slather onion mixture over the chicken, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill to high heat, about 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly oil the grill.
  • Cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 3 to 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove to a plate.
  • Lightly brown the tortillas on the grill for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Drain the salsa.
  • Thinly slice the chicken, against the grain. Lay tortillas out on plates, top with lettuce, chicken, pineapple salsa, and Sriracha sauce.

Provided by Guy Fieri Bio & Top Recipes

Categories     main-dish

Time 7h25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

1 pineapple
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons white vinegar
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
4 cloves garlic
2 chipotle chiles in adobo plus 1 teaspoon adobo sauce
1 sweet onion, half rough chopped and half finely diced
One 3-pound bone-in pork butt (cross-cut shoulder works well)
Canola oil
2 cups low-sodium chicken stock
Warm corn tortillas, for serving
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Pineapple-Jalapeno Salsa, recipe follows
Cotija cheese, crumbled, for serving
2 limes, cut into wedges
2 cups small-diced pineapple
1/2 cup small-diced white onion
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons minced jalapeno (seeds removed)
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 small red chile, seeded and minced

Steps:

  • Slice off the bottom of the pineapple and stand it upright. Remove the rind in large pieces, cutting deep enough to remove all the prickles; reserve the rind. Quarter the pineapple and remove the core. Roughly chop half of the pineapple; reserve the other half for the Pineapple-Jalapeno Salsa.
  • To a blender, add the orange juice, vinegar, cumin, salt, oregano, smoked paprika, garlic, chipotles and adobo sauce, the roughly chopped sweet onion and the chopped pineapple. Blend until smooth. Place the pork butt in a large resealable plastic bag and add the marinade. Seal and refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Set a large Dutch oven over high heat and add enough canola oil to cover the bottom. Remove the meat from the marinade and wipe off the excess. Add to the pot and sear on all sides, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Pour in the chicken stock and the marinade from the bag (the liquid should come halfway up the meat; add a little water if required). Bring to a simmer, then place the reserved pineapple rinds, skin-side up, over the top to cover. Place, uncovered, in the oven and cook until the rinds are deep brown and the pork is fork-tender, 2 1/2 to 3 hours (tent with foil if necessary).
  • Discard the rinds and roughly chop the meat into 1/4- to 1/2-inch pieces. Toss with a little braising liquid and keep warm.
  • Serve the pork in warm corn tortillas. Garnish with finely diced onion, cilantro, Pineapple-Jalapeno Salsa and cotija. Serve with a squeeze of lime.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the pineapple, onion, cilantro, jalapeno, lime juice, salt and chile and mix well. Allow to sit for 10 to 20 minutes before serving so that all the flavors meld together.

A fresh salsa of pineapple, red pepper, and ginger give these tacos a welcome kick, while grilled fish adds lightness to this taco dish.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 oranges
1/2 pineapple, peeled and cored, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1/2 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1/8-inch dice
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon crushed red-pepper flakes
1 pound grouper fillet (or other firm, white fish such as halibut), skin and bones removed
1 1/2 tablespoons canola oil
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 eight-inch flour tortillas
1 bunch arugula, stems removed
1/2 avocado, peeled and pitted (optional)
1 lime, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Slice tops and bottoms off oranges, and discard. Using a paring knife, remove peel, pith, and outer membranes from oranges. Remove sections by cutting away from membranes, collecting sections and juice in a medium bowl. Squeeze any remaining juice from membranes before discarding.
  • Cut orange sections into 1/2-inch pieces, and add pineapple, red pepper, ginger, honey, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and crushed red-pepper flakes; toss to combine. Set aside.
  • Heat grill until very hot. Coat the fish with oil and cilantro; let rest about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper; place on grill. Cover, and cook several minutes until browned. Turn over, and continue cooking until fish is flaky and opaque throughout. Cut into pieces.
  • Place the tortillas on the grill just long enough to soften and brown slightly. Remove from heat, and fill with arugula, grouper, and pineapple salsa. Garnish with wedges of avocado, if desired, and lime wedges; serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe pineapple: Use fresh, ripe pineapple for the best flavor. Look for pineapples that are heavy for their size and have a sweet smell.
  • Use a variety of colors of peppers: Red, orange, and yellow peppers add color and flavor to the salsa. If you like spicy salsa, use a serrano pepper instead of a jalapeño pepper.
  • Add some sweetness: Honey or agave nectar can be added to the salsa to balance out the acidity of the pineapple and tomatoes.
  • Make it ahead of time: Pineapple salsa can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This makes it a great option for parties or potlucks.

Conclusion:

Pineapple salsa is a delicious and refreshing salsa that is perfect for tacos, burritos, nachos, or as a dip. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a new salsa to try, give pineapple salsa a try.
