 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.

Cheese tortilla party

Making:  Cheese tortilla! 6 servings prepared. Here's what I have: 284 Grams of king Arthur masa harina 60 Grams cheese powder  30 Grams butter powder  419 grams hot water  Preparation: The dry ingredients were combined in the mixing bowl. With the stand mixer set to stir I slowly added the hot water until the dough ball formed. Once everything was well Incorporated the adult wall was divided into six portions. A damp paper towel was placed over the dough so it didn't try out as the tortillas were cooked.  Using a parchment lined tortilla press each dough ball was pressed just before cooking on the Comal. Each side was allowed to cook for 30-45 seconds before flipping. This allowed each side to dry out just enough. The second cook was done until the tortilla puffed up and Browning was beginning to form.  The plate! - Kris
