Our new Pineapple & Habanero Chilli Tortilla Chips have been inspired by the popular Mexican dish, ‘Salsa Habanero Y Piña’, made up of sweet pineapple and fiery habanero chilli and perfect for dipping. So here's our interpretation of the recipe as a delicious dip:

  • Juice of a fresh lime
  • Small garlic clove
  • Habenaro chilli puree (quantity dependant on heat level required)
  • Fresh coriander leaf to garnish
  • Pineapple juice (as required)
  • Salt to taste

 

METHOD – this will make a generous amount of salsa

  • Chop chargrilled pineapple into small pieces. Crush the rest of the fresh pineapple and add both to a mixing bowl
  • Chargrill the red pepper, chop into small pieces and add to bowl
