Nothing speaks to me like that sweet and salty combination…especially during the summer months! It’s the flavor profile I crave the most, so when I came up with these yummy tostadas I was PUMPED!!!
If you have never experimented with grilled fruit, what have you been waiting for?? Let’s get you in the game….
Slice a fresh pineapple in to 1 inch rings…sprinkle a spicy seasoning (like Tajin) across both sides and place on a hot grill pan…simple as that! Grilling the fruit brings out more of the natural sweetness and caramelized the sugars. It is yum yum yum.
Cut out the core and dice the edge in to 1/2 pieces.
Time to layer!
Of course this is only a guideline…get creative and do as you wish…
