These tacos have a sophisticated appeal for adults and a fun to eat flair for kids. Slow-grilled pork ribs are seasoned, marinated, and glazed, then deboned. The meat is then placed atop a grilled corn esquite, which is a creamy, slightly spicy corn salad with the tang of fresh lime juice and a touch of cotija cheese. The crowning jewel of the dish is the California Avocado Pineapple Salsa, which combines seven ingredients from the produce department (California Avocados, pineapple, jicama, red onion, jalapeño, lime and cilantro) with seasonings, vinegar and a splash of tequila. The pineapple is grilled, adding a smoky note to a salsa that blends sweetness, acidity and spicy heat with California Avocados’ creamy goodness. The combination of flavors, color and aroma of the succulent glazed pork, zesty grilled corn esquite and smoky sweet avocado salsa is simply intoxicating!

I love guacamole and this version keeps it pretty simple with the great Southern addition of toasted pecans. The flavors all work really well together and when you hit that toasty goodness in the pecans it just plays up the rich, fresh flavors of the great California Avocados. Poblano peppers offer just enough heat to give us a zesty flavor yet still appeal to those shy of spiciness in food.

This is so easy. This is one of those recipes that I can figure out in moments and have dinner quickly on the table for my kids on a busy school night. The better they eat, the better we all sleep.
