Sweet and Spicy Pineapple Salsa

Sweet and Spicy Pineapple Salsa makes just about everything better! It's true y'all! There is just something about the sweet and spicy together that satisfies every craving I have all at once! Well, except for chocolate, because there is no substitute for chocolate! Right?!!

This fruity salsa goes great with some salty tortilla chips and a comfy couch <wink>, but topping fish, chicken or even pork with a sweet and spicy fruit salsa is an easy way to turn a plain dinner into a fabulous gourmet meal!

This Pineapple Salsa recipe is basically the same as my Mango Salsa, only different because it has pineapple (of course), and I left the avocado out.

Don't get me wrong, avocado would be amazing in this salsa, but I left it out because the day I was making this recipe all the avocados at the store were like concrete! Those babies needed a couple more days before they could be used in anything! My cravings could not wait a couple days, so this salsa is avocado free! Feel free to add some! You won't be disappointed either way!

We aren't just topping these with cheese and jalapenos, although I'm sure that would be quite tasty! We are going all out and loading these potatoes up with lots of melty cheese, taco meat, black beans, shredded lettuce, tomatoes, and of course Simple Guacamole and sour cream!

We really liked these nachos! They are full of Mexican flavor and will be making an encore presentation for Cinco De Mayo and football season too! I'm really looking forward to having this again, because I only got a tiny bit of that ginormous plate! I took some of it to my mom, and then Don ate at least half that serving in the picture!! In his defense, he had skipped lunch and was a hungry bear by the time he got home!
