Today’s Recipe: Spicy Pineapple Pork Tacos

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share with you a recipe that brings back memories of warm summer nights and tropical flavors. These Spicy Pineapple Pork Tacos are a perfect balance of sweet and heat, making them a crowd-pleaser for any occasion. Let’s dive into the delicious details!

Ingredients:

• 500g pork shoulder, diced
• 1 cup pineapple chunks
• 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 jalapeño, sliced
• 1 lime, juiced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp paprika
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Corn tortillas, for serving
• Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish

Kitchen Tools:

• skillet
• knife
• cutting board
• tongs

I start by heating olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, I add the diced pork shoulder and season it with cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. I cook the pork until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

Next, I add the sliced red onion, jalapeño, and minced garlic to the skillet. I sauté everything together until the onions are soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Then, I stir in the pineapple chunks and lime juice, letting the flavors meld together for another 2-3 minutes.

Once the pork is cooked through and the pineapple has caramelized slightly, I remove the skillet from the heat. I warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet for a few seconds on each side until pliable. Then, I assemble the tacos by spooning the spicy pineapple pork mixture into each tortilla.

To finish off these Spicy Pineapple Pork Tacos, I top them with fresh cilantro for a burst of herbaceous flavor. The combination of juicy pineapple, tender pork, and spicy jalapeño creates a mouthwatering taco that is sure to be a hit with your friends and family.

In the end, the total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 1200g, with 6 servings at an average weight of 200g per serving. Each serving is around 350 calories, making these tacos a satisfying and flavorful meal option.

One tip to make these tacos even more delicious is to char the pineapple for a smoky flavor before adding it to the skillet. This adds an extra depth of flavor that will elevate the dish to the next level.

I hope you give these Spicy Pineapple Pork Tacos a try and make them your own with any additional toppings or tweaks you love. Enjoy these tropical delights and happy cooking!
