Carne Advoda Tacos with a Roasted Pineapple Habernero Salsa

First of all, Happy St. Patrick Day!!!



Secondly, I made these AMAZING tacos from Triple D's Cookbook By Guy. Wow. Wow. Wow.I picked it up from the Library and I am so glad. I bookmarked almost every page. This was top of my list. Many of his crew members commented about the salsa and tacos. Their comments made me drool.........

I gave my best friend a big bowl of the Roasted Pineapple Habernero Salsa and I got a FB comment from her husband. He said the Pineapple Salsa was incredible and he literally licked the bowl clean. LOL.

I will be honest, I got a great big kiss and a thank you after this dinner. My husband loved it....It is by far one of the best meals that I have ever made....
