\"Easy<\/a><\/p>\n

Hatch Salsa Verde<\/h3>\n

Is it even Taco Tuesday without salsa? I say no. This salsa verde is literally the best thing ever because it\u2019s made with Hatch chiles. Smoky, just the right amount of spice, and so addictive. It only has 4 ingredients, so no excuses. Unless you can\u2019t find Hatch chiles. In that case you can use a mix of Anaheim\u2019s and green Thai chili :)

Mexican Rice<\/h3>\n

Pineapple Guacamole<\/h3>\n

The photos from this guacamole are SO old but we still make pineapple guacamole on the regular. I know there\u2019s a whole internet debate on whether or not pineapples belong on pizza, and I\u2019m here to say, pineapples definitely belong in guacamole!
