Grilled Pineapple Tacos
makes 6 tacos

3 T butter
1 T olive oil, plus more to drizzle
3 onion, peeled and sliced very thin
salt and pepper, to taste
6 whole wheat tortillas
1 pineapple, skin and inner core removed, cut into 1/2" strips
4 c loosely packed torn lettuce
1 c thinly sliced radicchio
large handful of cilantro, chopped juice of 1 lime
In a large sauté pan, heat butter and 1 T olive oil, over very low heat. Add onions, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and stir well. Cook 50-60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions are the color of caramel. Remove from heat and set aside.
Preheat oven to 350F. Wrap tortillas in foil, and place in oven for 10 minutes, until warm.
Heat grill (or a grill pan), to medium-high, and add pineapple slices. Cook 4-5 minutes on one side, until warm, and just beginning to brown. Flip and repeat on the other side. Remove from heat.
To assemble, top each tortilla with lettuce, radicchio, pineapple, caramelized onion and cilantro. Drizzle with lime juice and olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roll up from one side and enjoy!
