Elote Bowl With Grilled Pineapple Food

ELOTE BOWL WITH GRILLED PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Brush pineapple and corn with oil and place carefully on the grill. Cook pineapple until grill marks appear, about 3 minutes. Flip and leave on heat just until grill marks appear on the second side, about 3 minutes more; do not overcook, as pineapple will become mushy.
• Grill corn, turning throughout, until somewhat charred, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from grill and cool until safe too handle. Cut kernels off cobs into a bowl.
• Assemble 2 bowls by spooning equal amounts of rice into the bottom and topping each with 1/2 the roasted corn kernels. Spoon crema over over corn and drizzle with hot sauce. Add 2 to 3 pineapple rings to each bowl and top with cotija cheese and cilantro. Add salt and pepper and a squeeze of lime juice.

GRILLED PINEAPPLE AND CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the grill. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 4 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and nicely marked by the grill. Brush the pineapple slices with the remaining olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Place the pineapple slices on the grill and cook for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, or until the fruit is slightly softened and nicely marked by the grill. Remove from the grill and cool. Reserve 4 slices of the pineapple and dice the rest of the fruit. Dice the cooled chicken. In the bowl of a food processor, add the 4 reserved slices of fruit. Process until mostly smooth. While the processor is still running, add the walnut oil in a steady stream until combined and emulsified. Stir in the chervil and season the vinaigrette with salt and pepper. In a mixing bowl, toss the diced chicken, pineapple, red onions, celery, and walnuts with the dressing. Cover the salad and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a non-reactive and heavy-bottomed pot until 350 degrees F. Add wontons slowly to prevent the oil from bubbling over. Fry the wontons for 30 seconds or until crispy. Drain on paper towels and season with salt and sesame oil.
• Serve chicken salad on top of Bibb lettuce leaves and garnish with chopped parsley and fried wontons.

SUNNY'S EASY CHICKEN TACO SKEWERS

Steps:

• For the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, orange or pineapple juice and hot honey. Set aside.
• For the skewers: Preheat a grill, cast-iron grill, griddle or pan over medium-high heat.
• In a medium bowl, add the chicken, pineapple, jalapeños and oil and toss to coat. Add the elote seasoning and a couple grinds of black pepper and toss again. Add to metal skewers in any order, but I prefer adding all of the same thing on one skewer.
• Cook on all sides until the chicken is cooked through and the pineapples and jalapeños are charred, 10 to 12 minutes, turning every couple of minutes. Brush the skewers with the sauce halfway through and again when they're done.
• Transfer the skewers to a cutting board. Remove the skewers and roughly chop the chicken, pineapples and jalapeños together. Transfer to a serving bowl.
• For the tacos: In a medium bowl, combine the onions and cilantro. Place some taco filling in a warm tortilla and top with some onion-cilantro mixture, a squeeze of lime juice and a few shakes of hot sauce if using.
