This salsa is perfect for tacos al pastor. It’s not only deliciously spicy, but also has a creamy texture and the sweet-tart flavor of pineapple. It’s so good, I want to try it with other dishes too.

Steps

15 minutes

1

Sauté the chopped onion, garlic, and allspice berry in the sesame oil. If you don’t have sesame oil, use any cooking oil you have on hand.
2

Once they’re lightly browned, remove them from the pan. In the same pan over low heat, sauté the chiles for just a minute, stirring constantly.
3

Remove the chiles, then add the pineapple pieces to the pan. There will be just a little oil left, so the pineapple will brown quickly. Add the vinegar at this point.
4

Transfer everything to a blender, add the salt, and blend until smooth. If you need more liquid, add some pineapple juice or a little water. The salsa should be a fine purée.
5

Taste and adjust the salt if needed. Your creamy, spicy salsa is ready!
