These Spicy Pineapple Pork Tacos are a delicious fusion of sweet and spicy that will tantalize your taste buds and leave you wanting more. Let’s dive into the details of this unique dish!

Ingredients:

  • pork loin, thinly sliced (400g)
  • pineapple chunks (200g)
  • jalapeño peppers, thinly sliced (2)
  • red onion, diced (1/2)
  • lime, juiced (1)
  • fresh cilantro, chopped (1/4 cup)
  • smoked paprika (1 tsp)
  • cumin (1 tsp)
  • garlic powder (1 tsp)
  • salt (1/2 tsp)
  • pepper (1/4 tsp)
  • corn tortillas

Kitchen Tools:

  • skillet
  • grill pan
  • mixing bowl
  • chef’s knife
  • cutting board

Preparation:

Start by marinating the thinly sliced pork loin with smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. While the pork is marinating, grill the pineapple chunks on a hot grill pan until they get those beautiful grill marks and caramelize slightly.

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the marinated pork loin until it’s browned and cooked through. Add in the grilled pineapple, diced red onion, and thinly sliced jalapeño peppers. Squeeze the lime juice over the mixture and stir to combine everything. Let it cook for a few more minutes until the flavors come together.

Warm up the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or on a grill until they are soft and pliable. Assemble the tacos by spooning the spicy pineapple pork mixture onto each tortilla. Top with fresh chopped cilantro for a burst of freshness.

Tips for Perfection:

For an extra kick of heat, add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to the pork mixture before serving. The combination of sweet pineapple, spicy jalapeños, and smoky pork is truly a flavor explosion you won’t want to miss!

Serving:

This recipe yields approximately 4 servings. The total weight of the cooked dish is around 800g. Each serving is about 200g. Enjoy these Spicy Pineapple Pork Tacos with a side of creamy avocado slices or a simple green salad for a complete meal.

I hope you give this recipe a try and enjoy every spicy, sweet, and savory bite. Feel free to customize it with your favorite toppings or additional seasonings to make it your own. Happy cooking!
