    Shredded Beef Tacos with Pineapple-Pepper Salsa

    I’m often asked why I share so many taco recipes…and there are 3 reasons.

    One, my boys love them.

    Two, I live in the land of ridiculously cheap corn and flour tortillas…where the grocery stores have in-store tortilla making presses.

    And three, because I’m trying to pretend that my kitchen is like a taco truck, specifically Torchey’s Tacos. (Last ate at one in Austin. I might start a petition to bring them to San Antonio!)

    Here’s a delicious spin off of the shredded beef tacos with mango-avocado salsa. If you find a great deal on a large chuck roast (3+ lbs.) – you can cook it and use the beef for each of these meals. Just mix up the Mango-Avocado salsa for one night, and then the pineapple-pepper salsa below another night. (Cooked, shredded beef freezes really well!)

    I adore the sweetness from the pineapple, plus the crunch from the bell peppers in these tacos…MMMMMMMmmmmmmm. Buen provecho!

    I have a little problem. I cannot make a meal that costs more than $5. It’s unnatural, but my pocketbook thanks me.
