Kayla is a self-taught home cook and baker. Growing up with her grandparents, she would spend hours in front of the TV watching the Food Network. She and her grandmother would mold play-dough into different fruits and vegetables while watching cooking shows and have contests to see who made the most realistic dish. Eventually, Kayla moved on from play-dough and began to work with real food. On her blog, enrootkitchen.com, you’ll find recipes made from scratch for the home cook and baker ranging from all skill levels! She also showcases these dishes on her Instagram: @enrootkitchen.

directions
The first step is optional, but really takes this drink to the next level - grill your pineapple slices! This can be done over a grill or with a cast iron grill/griddle.
Add the grilled pineapple to a shaker glass along with the jalapeños and tequila. Muddle together, then add the gran gala, lime juice, and cream of coconut. Shake vigorously to combine.
Brush your glass with some simple syrup and rim it with the Pineapple al Pastor spice blend. Add ice, then pour your spicy margarita into the glass.
Garnish with pineapple leaves, an additional grilled pineapple or jalapeño slices, and enjoy!
