Notes
- If you prefer a spicier taco, consider adding diced jalapeños to the pineapple salsa.
- The avocado crema can be made up to 4 hours in advance; keep refrigerated to maintain freshness.
- Corn tortillas provide a more traditional flavor, but flour tortillas can be used for a softer texture.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute sour cream and cheese with vegan alternatives.
