How to make?
Ingredients
1 habañero pepper, seeded and minced
1/4 cup minced red onion
2 tablespoons minced cilantro
1 lime, juice only
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large ripe avocados
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1 container SPAM, sliced into matchsticks
2 cups fresh pineapple, chopped
1 red pepper, sliced into matchsticks
1/2 head of green cabbage, shredded
4 ounces queso fresco, crumbled
1 cup sour cream
Fresh cilantro, garnish
12 small flour tortillas
Directions
In a medium bowl, combine minced habañero, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mash together with a fork.
Add in ripe avocados and mash until the guacamole comes together. Some chunks are good, but it should be creamy and dippable.
Guacamole can be made a day in advance. To store it, place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the guacamole to slow oxidation and refrigerate.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and SPAM strips. Cook until strips start to get crispy and browned, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove strips from the skillet and add the pineapple and red peppers. Continue to cook until red peppers soften slightly and pineapple starts to turn tan in spots, another 6 to 8 minutes.
Add strips back to skillet and toss to combine. Keep warm until serving.
Warm tortillas by wrapping them in damp paper towels and microwaving them for 10 seconds. Then add a smear of sour cream to each tortilla. Top with a handful of shredded cabbage, 2 to 3 strips of crispy SPAM, and seared pineapple and red pepper. Garnish the taco with queso fresco and cilantro. Serve while warm!.
