Ingredients
8 ounces fresh pineapple, cut into 1/4-inch-thick rings
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt
4 avocados
1/2 cup lightly packed fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems, roughly chopped, plus more for serving
1/4 cup lime juice
1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for serving
1 small plum tomato, finely diced
1 small jalapeño, minced
1/2 white onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons salted roasted pepitas (pumpkin seeds), for serving
Tortilla chips, for serving
Directions
- Prepare a grill or grill pan for medium-high heat.
- Sprinkle both sides of the pineapple with the cayenne and a good pinch of salt. Grill, flipping halfway through, until charred in spots, about 4 minutes total. Transfer to a cutting board to cool slightly, then finely dice. Set aside.
- Mash the avocados in a large bowl, then stir in the cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, tomato, jalapeños, white onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Fold in the pineapple until evenly combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt if needed. Transfer to a serving bowl and top with the pepitas, a drizzle of olive oil and chopped cilantro. Serve with tortilla chips.
