Ingredients
- 1 red onion finely diced, divided
- 2 large poblano peppers seeded and diced, divided
- 4 roma tomatoes seeded and diced
- ½ cup cilantro roughly chopped
- 1 8 oz can pineapple tidbits in pineapple juice drained and juice reserved
- 1 lime sliced into wedges
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- kosher salt to taste
- fresh cracked pepper to taste
- 24 oz lean ground beef
- 12 tortillas
- 1 cup Cacique Queso Fresco
- ¾ cup Cacique Cilantro Lime Sour Cream
Taco Seasoning
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoons kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
US Customary - Metric
Instructions
In a small dish, combine taco seasoning spices and mix until uniform, set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of the diced onion, ¾ cup diced poblano, diced tomatoes, cilantro, pineapple, and a hearty squeeze of lime juice. Toss gently to combine and set aside.
Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining onion and poblano, season with salt, pepper, and half of the taco seasoning, and cook until lightly softened, about 3 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the pan and continue to cook, crumbling the beef as it cooks. Sprinkle with remaining taco spices and cook until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Stir in the reserved pineapple juice and cook until most of the liquid has burned off, about 3 minutes. Adjust seasoning as desired and remove pan from heat.
Divide meat between tortillas and top with pineapple poblano salsa, Cacique Queso Fresco and Cilantro Lime Sour Cream. Enjoy!
