Tips
Tacos are best served on warm plates to maintain temperature. They can be garnished with lime slices and fresh cilantro. They pair well with salsa verde and spicy sauce.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Meat and pineapple can also be frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat in a pan over medium heat to maintain crispness.
