Ackee Tacos with Island Guacamole

Ingredients for Ackee Tacos with Island Guacamole

• 3 medium avocados, peeled, pitted, and sliced

• 1 to 2 plum tomatoes, seeded and diced

• 3 tablespoons diced red onion

• 120ml diced pineapple or mango

• 1 tablespoon lime juice

• 1 tablespoon orange juice

• 1 teaspoon orange zest

• 1 teaspoon minced Scotch bonnet pepper

• 2 cuillères à soupe d'huile d'olive

• 3 to 4 tablespoons chopped coriander

• Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste

• 2 to 3 tablespoons coconut oil or other vegetable oil

• 1 small yellow onion, diced

• 1 plum tomato, diced

• 2 cloves garlic, diced

• 4 tablespoons diced pepper

• 1/4 teaspoons seeded and minced Scotch bonnet pepper

• 1 stalk spring onion

• 2 dozen frozen ackee or 2 cans ackee, drained (or 2 cups ackee, cooked from fresh)

• 1 teaspoon thyme leaves

• 1/2 cuillères à café de poudre de piment

• Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste

• 12 taco shells (either soft or crunchy)

• 2/3 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese

• 1 cup shredded lettuce or purple cabbage

• 1 large handful chopped fresh coriander

• Salsa (optional)

• Soured cream (optional)

Dice or mash the avocado depending on your preference; it can have a more salsa-like texture if preferred. Add the remaining guacamole ingredients, gently stirring to combine. Refrigerate until you are ready to assemble the tacos.

Heat the oil in a sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, tomato, garlic, pepper, Scotch bonnet pepper, and spring onion, and cook until the ingredients are soft, about 3 minutes. Add the ackee, thyme, chilli powder, salt, and pepper, gently folding the ingredients together. Cook for 5 to 8 minutes or until the mixture is heated through; remove from heat.

Serve assembly-line style, with the ackee mixture, guacamole, grated cheese, shredded lettuce or cabbage, coriander, salsa, and soured cream (if using) in colorful bowls next to a basket of soft or hard taco shells. Alternately, serve a large platter of already assembled tacos: fill each shell with a few tablespoons of ackee, layer with lettuce, guacamole, and cheese, and top with a mound of fresh coriander for a mouthful of exotic flavour. Serve with salsa and/or soured cream if you wish.
