I had some extra time this afternoon so I decided to make my husband, Mr. Bear, and I some tasty chicken tacos. I love fruit salsas so I decided a pineapple salsa was the way to go. The only problem is cutting a pineapple can be such a pain in the rear. It's not difficult, just time consuming. On the flip side, buying a pineapple and cutting yourself is way cheaper than buying a pre-cut pineapple. You could buy at least two whole pineapples for the cost of a pre-cut variety. I made up some time by using a jarred mango chipotle marinade for the chicken. I know that's cheating a bit, but this lady has a full time job and a starving husband. I don't want a hungry Mr. Bear roaming around the house for too long. Back to dinner. The pineapple salsa is easy and worth the knife work. See recipe below. I made a quick guacamole, cut cup some romaine lettuce, sat out cheese, sour cream and roasted tomato salsa. I grilled the chicken and we were good to go. I also warmed up the tortilla's on my grill pan. I like my tortilla's to have a little smokey flavor. The above picture is Mr. Bear's first of two taco's. We even had some left over chicken for Bear's lunch tomorrow. The only thing this dinner was missing was a margarita.
