This Pineapple Salsa is the star of the recipe. Today we’re serving it on simple vegan tacos, but it would be delicious on your burritos, quesadillas, or served with tortilla chips. Pineapple Salsa has a crisp sweet and spicy flavor that complements simple foods, making it perfect for a quick weekday meal.
I’ve been feeling so busy lately, but after my friend, Christina made pineapple salsa when I was staying with her, I knew that I needed to make my own version as soon as possible. Not being vegan, she served it with simple pork tacos, but fortunately, thanks to Gardein, this was easy to recreate in a more humane fashion.
Simple Vegan Tacos with Pineapple Salsa
While I was visiting Christina, I simply cooked up the Porkless Bites (discarding the sweet & sour sauce that comes with it) while she prepared her own version. The rest of the meal was naturally vegan. At home, I used the Beefless Tips. They both were delicious!
For the refried beans, I usually start with a can of pinto or black beans and cook them up myself. You can also start with dried beans from scratch or purchase a can of vegetarian refried beans.
I think you’ll enjoy these simple vegan tacos with Pineapple Salsa. They are so easy to prepare and have a fresh sweet and spicy flavor that will be sure to love.

I love pineapple salsa. Can’t beat the combo of sweet and spicy! Perfect topping for so many yummy dishes. Thanks for joining us for meatless Monday
I really do love that sweet and spicy combo!
Pineapple is my favorite fruit. I buy one every week! I can’t wait for the warm weather to return so we can have tacos with grilled whatever and pineapple salsa!
I love pineapple too. It’s great for smoothies or salads (or salsa, of course). My hubby mixes it with his granola and yogurt.
This salsa has me craving spring! Love sweet and spicy together and have done mango but not pineapple in salsa, need to try it soon.
I love mango salsa too. Fruit really combines well with spicy chilies and onions.
