Cookware
aluminum foil · chef's knife · citrus juicer (optional) · colander · cutting board · grill pan, outdoor grill, or skillet · measuring spoons · mixing bowls · stirring spoon · tongs
Directions
- Rinse and pat dry the cilantro, green onions, jalapeño, and lime.
- Quarter the red bell pepper, remove seeds, and place the pieces in a medium bowl.
- Halve the jalapeño lengthwise, remove seeds and ribs, and add to the bowl.
- Heat a grill pan, outdoor grill, or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Trim the green onions, add them to the bowl, drizzle with oil, sprinkle with chili powder and cumin, and toss to coat.
- Cook the vegetables in batches on the grill until tender and lightly charred, about 2–3 minutes per side; return to the bowl when done.
- Place the sausages on the grill and reduce heat to medium; cook, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through, 12–15 minutes. Transfer to a plate and loosely cover with foil.
- Dice the grilled bell pepper, jalapeño, and half of the green onions; add back to the bowl with the rest of the vegetables.
- Cut the pineapple skin off, core it, and dice small; add to the bowl with the veggies.
- Strip cilantro leaves from the stems, mince, and add to the bowl.
- Juice half the lime into the salsa and stir to combine; cut the remaining lime into wedges and set aside.
- Warm the corn tortillas in the grill pan, oven, or microwave for 15–30 seconds.
- Slice the sausages into 1/2-inch thick rounds at a slight angle and keep handy for serving.
- To serve, fill tortillas with sausage and the pineapple-vegetable salsa, then top with the remaining green onions and lime wedges.
Two tips
- Prep the salsa base a few hours ahead and keep refrigerated to let flavors meld.
- If you need a quick brightness boost, squeeze a bit more lime juice over the salsa and season with a pinch of salt before serving.
