Bright isn't just for lights, colors, and dolls called Rainbow; bright is for flavors that pop, delight, and liven up any meal. These tacos are a festival of lights in and of themselves: sweet pineapple, slightly feisty shishito, and the vivid vivacious lime, the textbook definition of ”bright.“ With all these ingredients coming together, these tacos are both lovely and luminous. Tip: Best way to remove ribs and seeds from a red bell pepper? Cut off top and bottom of pepper, then either carefully cut or tear out the seed portion.
