caramelized pineapple chicken tacos with Smokey red pepper Crema

1 serving prepared

Here's what you get:

Long green pepper

Red Onion

Roma tomato

Cilantro (not used)

Lime

Pineapple (not used)

Chicken breast strip

Southwest spice blend

Flour tortilla (not pictured/used)

Smokey red pepper Crema

Substitutes:

Corn tortilla

Fresh pineapple

The salsa:

The Cilantro in my box was unusable so that part will be missing from the recipe.

The fesh pineapple was charred in a pan for about 4 minutes per the directions and then removed from the pan.

In a separate bowl the pineapple, tomato, minced onion, lime juice were combined with salt and pepper mixed well and set to the side.

Preparation:

In the same pan the green pepper sliced onion we're cooked in and then flavored with a bit of lime juice, they were then transferred to a plate.

Next into the same pan was the chicken strips they were cooked with the Southwest spice, salt, pepper and lime juice for about 8 minutes.

The tortilla:

The tortilla were toasted in the oven at 350 for about 10 minutes towards the end of preparation of the taco filling.

The plate:

I had plenty of salsa and cooked pepper and onion leftover. The salsa was definitely missing something with the absence of the cilantro. I should have charred three pineapple longer as well. Despite all of that, the tacos were still really good. Out of the two taco recipes I've tried so far I like this one the best.

Bacon butter!

Making: Today I'll be making bacon butter. Whenever I make bacon I save the grease. Now that I have enough it will be turned into batches of bacon butter. I used about 2.75 sticks of butter total. Cut into jars then I let them sit until the butter was close to room temperature. The bacon fat I have collected (Stored in the refrigerator) was heated in bits over a double boiler until liquified but not too hot. The melted bacon fat was poured over the butter. You can use a strainer to get rid of and chunky bits and then mixed until well incorporated. The smaller jars have just over 3 oz butter. The bigger jar has 4.3 oz butter. Here are the finished jars. These will be stored in the fridge and used to cook veggies and sear meats. You could also put herbs in the jar for different flavors. - Kris

While the water was coming to a boil I coated the pork chops in the spice and set them aside. The potatoes were steamed for 10 minutes at med-high heat first then the heat was turned to warm. I put the asparagus into the steamer basket with them and put the lid back on the pot. I used my cast iron pan, heating it up (high temp) before placing half of the butter into it. Pork chops were cooked in the pan, turned down to medium heat for a total of 8 minutes, 4 minutes for each side. Once they were done I took them out of the pan ...
