Today’s Recipe: Spicy Pineapple Pork Tacos

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share with you one of my favorite taco recipes that is perfect for a summer fiesta. These Spicy Pineapple Pork Tacos are a unique twist on traditional tacos and are sure to impress your taste buds with their bold flavors. Let’s dive in!

Ingredients:

  • pork shoulder, 500g
  • pineapple, 200g
  • red onion, 100g
  • jalapeño, 1 piece
  • lime juice, 30ml
  • soy sauce, 15ml
  • garlic powder, 5g
  • cumin powder, 5g
  • smoked paprika, 5g
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • corn tortillas, 8 pieces

Kitchen Tools:

  • cutting board
  • chef’s knife
  • skillet
  • mixing bowl
  • tongs

To start, heat a skillet over medium heat and add the diced pork shoulder. Season the pork with garlic powder, cumin powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until the pork is browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.

Once the pork is cooked, add the diced pineapple, sliced red onion, and minced jalapeño to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for another 5 minutes until the flavors meld together.

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the lime juice and soy sauce. Pour this mixture over the pork and pineapple mixture in the skillet. Stir well to coat everything with the sauce.

Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable. Fill each tortilla with a generous scoop of the spicy pineapple pork mixture.

Serve the tacos hot and enjoy the explosion of flavors with every bite!

One clever tip for this recipe is to sprinkle some fresh cilantro on top of the tacos for a burst of freshness and color. It adds a nice touch to the dish and enhances the overall flavor profile.
