Directions
For the Shishito Pepper Salsa
Step 1
Add 1 tbsp of vegetable oil to a large cast iron on medium-high heat. Add shishito peppers in batches, turning over often.
Step 2
Once slightly charred, place on a cutting board to cool and then chop.
Step 3
Add the garlic, vinegar, salt and pepper to a bowl and stir in the peppers. Set aside.
For Baked Chicken Tacos Al Pastor
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 °F. Spray a 9 x 13 casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Step 2
Preheat a large skillet to medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, ground chicken, onion, garlic, salt and pepper. Cook chicken until no longer pink − about five minutes.
Step 3
Add chipotle powder, cumin, coriander, pineapple juice, and water. Bring to a boil and then turn heat down to low, stirring occasionally. When sauce has thickened, drain the liquid from the skillet.
Step 4
In the prepared baking dish, place the hard shell tacos. Fill shells with taco meat and top with cheese.
Step 5
Bake in oven until cheese melts, about 5 minutes.
Step 6
Remove the casserole dish from the oven and garnish each taco with avocado slices, fresh cilantro, and shishito pepper salsa.
