Ingredients
- 1¼ lb lower-sodium fresh pork sausages
- 1 count pineapple
- 2 count red bell peppers
- 2 count jalapeño peppers
- 1 bunch green onions
- 1 bunch cilantro
- 2 count limes
- 12 count small corn tortillas
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Steps
- Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. Peel and core the pineapple and cut half of it into thick rings (save the rest for snacking). Quarter the bell peppers and leave the jalapeños and green onions whole.
- Brush the pineapple, peppers, jalapeños and green onions with olive oil. Grill the sausages over medium heat 12-15 minutes, turning often, until they reach 160°F inside. Grill the produce alongside for 6-8 minutes until charred in spots.
- Chop the grilled pineapple, bell peppers and green onions. Toss with chopped cilantro, the cumin, juice of the limes and salt. Set aside the children's portion of this salsa. Seed and mince the grilled jalapeños (use one for milder salsa) and stir them into the remaining salsa.
- Slice the sausages. For young children, quarter their sausages lengthwise and cut into thin pieces. Warm the tortillas on the grill about 30 seconds per side.
- Fill the tortillas with sausage and top with the pineapple salsa. Use the reserved salsa without jalapeño for kids.
On the side: Quick slaw (5 min)
1 bag coleslaw mix, 1 bottle coleslaw dressing
- Toss the coleslaw mix with the dressing. Let it sit a few minutes before serving.
