Trinidadian Pineapple Chow

|
By Kristen Wood Verified
| MOON and spoon and yum
Trinidadian pineapple chow is one of my favorite Caribbean snacks! Originating in Trinidad and Tobago, it’s made with juicy fresh pineapple tossed with lime, salt, and spicy chile for the perfect sweet, salty, sour, and spicy bite. If you’ve never had chow before, you’re in for something good. A few minutes of prep and the fruit does most of the work! I love recipes that surprise people, and this pineapple chow definitely does. Every bite is juicy, tangy, salty, and spicy in the best possible way.

Jackfruit Birria Tacos (Quesabirria) Recipe

|
By Kristen Wood Verified
| The Good Men Project Verified
My jackfruit birria tacos are a plant-based take on traditional birria tacos. Young green jackfruit is roasted with smoky spices, tossed in a rich homemade birria sauce made with guajillo chiles and chipotle peppers, then tucked into corn tortillas with melty cheese and pan-fried until crispy. Served with extra birria sauce for dipping, they’re hearty, flavorful, and surprisingly easy to make at home! If you’re skeptical about jackfruit, this recipe might change your mind.
