Pineapple Chipotle Tacos and Menu Plan

I tired something a little different last week!  These tacos were delicious and so easy! 

Pineapple Chipotle Tacos

1 pork shoulder
1 jar chipotle salsa
1 pineapple, 1/2 reserved
corn tortillas (I used white corn tortillas)
monterey jack, grated I used half regular and half habanero pepper monterey jack
cilantro for garnish

Place pork shoulder in a crock pot.  Pour chipotle salsa over the pork shoulder.  Add half the pineapple, cut into chunks.  Cook on low for 8 hours.

When ready to serve, grill pineapple (I did it on my panini press) and heat tortillas.  Layer tortillas with pork, cheese, and grilled pineapple, and cilantro on  a tortilla.  I served it with a salad topped with mangos and a fat free tropical salad dressing.  This one was one to add to the favorites for our family!

  2. I adore grilled pineapple, so these sound really good--and a nice change from the usual ground beef and red salsa!
