does anyone know if the red or green enchilada sauce was used?<\/p>","CommentId":9,"DateRated":"11\/06\/2016 15:48","GUID":"ecb0a649597d45f7a429f6f64e9075e3","MemberId":5095727,"Rating":3,"ScreenName":"Carol","SubmittedDate":"11\/06\/2016 15:48"},{"Comment":"
What a fun and different way to prepare a taco! It was very good! I used an entire can of crushed pineapple (divided in half for each part of the recipe) and an entire 10 oz can of enchilada sauce. The toppings (cilantro and onion) make this taco! So don't be afraid to sprinkle a good amount of onion and cilantro on top! We didn't use any of the optional toppings as this was good as is!<\/p>","CommentId":10,"DateRated":"04\/19\/2016 20:48","GUID":"485e86a79b6640fa8b3c868c625bc369","MemberId":2351073,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"khahn2415","SubmittedDate":"04\/19\/2016 20:48"},{"Comment":"
Great way to enhance a Very good Taco. We eat a LOT of Tacos, Burritos, Enchiladas, etc., and really like this recipe!<\/p>","CommentId":11,"DateRated":"04\/16\/2016 20:56","GUID":"6E945233B283813AA8874144FAF6009E","MemberId":87128,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"C1PNR","SubmittedDate":"04\/16\/2016 20:56"},{"Comment":"
This sounds so good. I will be changing it up, but only because I don't use pork, that being said I will use chicken thighs and I know my family and I will really enjoy eating this for Taco Tues. Thank you for sharing<\/p>","CommentId":12,"DateRated":"04\/16\/2016 17:49","GUID":"e3c5b6feb86740b3b4839daa2002f2a8","MemberId":7953517,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"CJB930","SubmittedDate":"04\/16\/2016 17:49"},{"Comment":"
We like pineapple on our pizza so knew this would be a hit. My freezer had left-over roast pork so I used it for this recipe. I also added sliced onions with the pineapple to soften it a little bit. (I would have added some chopped red bell pepper if any was on hand). This recipe is great as it stands, I just cannot help tweaking to my families taste. Now I must share this with friends !<\/p>
edit to add : I don't think I changed the recipe very much by my adding onions to cook with pineapple (to delete my review).<\/p>","CommentId":13,"DateRated":"04\/16\/2016 17:04","GUID":"42d49c23dffc42cb916a0fde470ccff1","MemberId":8252934,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"WonkyGirl","SubmittedDate":"04\/16\/2016 16:56"},{"Comment":"
Great recipe! Love the combination of spicy\/sweet. While I totally agree with SMQMC that Jenward302 should not bring down the rating to ask a question, I also don't think anyone should review a recipe by how it looks, it's ingredients or weather it is healthy or not. Come one people, we want to know what you thot of the taste of the recipe as it is written. Letting us know what you might do next time, is fine. Some leave a review, good or bad, After they have changed most, if not all the ingredients. (That;s leaving another recipe, not reviewing the one listed.) Rant over!<\/p>","CommentId":14,"DateRated":"04\/16\/2016 16:40","GUID":"01E4172E0E9747A9BE45B8A9D7AE6452","MemberId":1540001,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"rhondajeankelley","SubmittedDate":"04\/16\/2016 16:40"},{"Comment":"
Spicy sweet and delicious! I added more pineapple and enchilada sauce to make it more \"saucy\". Just enough that I did not need to add extra salsa. Skip the cheese to save a few calories. Definitely a repeat recipe.<\/p>","CommentId":15,"DateRated":"02\/28\/2016 11:49","GUID":"372672d497924399a63d8ab54379d408","MemberId":7423567,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Hernzoo2","SubmittedDate":"02\/28\/2016 11:49"}]},"breadcrumb":[{"term_id":310796,"name":"Dishes & Beverages","slug":"dishes-beverages","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":310731,"taxonomy":"categories-v2","description":"Wondering what to make?
