I never have really thought about making tacos on your grill.  I mean I have thought of fajitas but not tacos.  Hello!  This is a fun twist on the taco for summer.  Where have I been? I adapted this recipe for grilled pork tacos with pineapple salsa from one in the July issue of Family Circle.  I loved the idea of grilling the meat and then to add pineapple salsa to the tacos, it screamed summer to me.

These tacos were delicious.  Not heavy, just light and refreshing.  They are also only 343 calories a serving!  I also got to thinking that the margarita chicken a posted last week would also taste awesome in a taco with this pineapple salsa.  This meal is easy to put together and you get fabulous gourmet looking tacos.

I served mine taco on my favorite Hand Made Style white corn tortillas from La Tortilla Factory.  They are delicious. Kind of like a mix of a flour and a corn tortilla.  They are only 90 calories each which is actually 20 calories less than the regular corn tortillas that I also had in my fridge.  I follow the directions on the package for the skillet method to warm the tortillas.  You just heat them for 20-30seconds on each side in an UNgreased skillet.  Love them!!!!

Here is what you need to make the

The pineapple salsa is what caught my attention. Fruit salsas are amazing. I’m glad you shared this recipe, I make mango salsa all the time and have to try pineapple!

My ex ALWAYS made beef and chicken tacos on the grill. He’s Mexican, and that’s just the way they do things. Amazing guacamole, beans, and pico de gallo.
