This Spicy Grilled Pineapple Salsa is an easy addition to your barbecue menu! Its sweet, spicy, really fresh and tropical. You’ll be making this all summer! It goes really well with any kind of meat or fish and makes a taco taste amazing.
I have to be honest here. This did not start as a recipe for the blog. Because I never thought a spicy grilled pineapple salsa would be something we’d come to love.
Recently at a family barbecue, a cousin grilled some pineapples. At first I wrinkled my nose at them. But not one to shy away from trying something new, I had to give it a go. Sprinkled with chili powder and tossed in lime juice, I wasn’t prepared for the explosion in my mouth when I bit into them. The taste is unforgettable. So when I chanced upon some beautiful baked beet taco shells at a gourmet store, I started thinking of flavor and color combinations. I couldn’t resist pairing the two.

Method* Grill the pineapples in a sizzling hot pan for 3-4 minutes on each side. I used my cast iron skillet because I love the fact that it retains the heat, enhances flavors and gives the most beautiful grill marks.
* Once cooled, chop the pineapples finely and combine all the ingredients together.
* Adjust the seasoning and spice level to your taste.
* Let this sit in the refrigerator for an hour before serving.
