Unusual flavors take a long time to cook, right? Trying out something new requires effort beyond the normal work week dinner preparation? Not so! This jerk tacos give you the uniqueness of tangy, smoky jerk sauce, with a slight hint of heat, plus a charred pineapple slaw that will knock your socks off. And they come together in a half hour or less. You could get a whole roll of photos developed in that time! (Kids, ask your parents.)
