  • 1 small bunch cilantro
  • 1 lime

beef tacos (optional);

  • ½ lb ground beef
  • 1 yellow onion
  • 1 Tbsp cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • salt & pepper (to taste)
  • 6 6" flour tortillas

  • Wash and dry all produce. Core and seed the poblano, then cut into ½" squares. Dice the ½ onion, tomatoes, and pineapple. Add all diced ingredients to a bowl.
  • Strip the leaves of the cilantro from the stems and roughly chop the leaves. Add to the bowl.
  • Cut the lime into quarters and use one quarter to squeeze over the salsa. Toss together.
