Today’s Special: Spicy Pineapple Pulled Pork Tacos

Hey there, foodies! Today I’m sharing a recipe that’s perfect for bringing a bit of heat and tropical flavor to your dinner table. These spicy pineapple pulled pork tacos are a fun twist on a classic dish, combining sweet and spicy flavors in a deliciously satisfying way.

To start, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • pork shoulder (cubed) – 500g
  • pineapple chunks – 250g
  • jalapeños (sliced) – 2
  • red onion (chopped) – 1
  • garlic (minced) – 3 cloves
  • chipotle peppers in adobo sauce – 2 peppers
  • cumin powder – 1 tsp
  • paprika – 1 tsp
  • brown sugar – 2 tbsp
  • salt – to taste
  • black pepper – to taste
  • tortillas – for serving

For this recipe, you’ll need the following kitchen tools:

  • slow cooker
  • knife
  • cutting board
  • measuring spoons
  • skillet

To prepare this mouthwatering dish, start by seasoning the cubed pork shoulder with cumin, paprika, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper. In a skillet, sear the pork until browned on all sides. Transfer the pork to a slow cooker and add in the pineapple chunks, jalapeños, red onion, garlic, chipotle peppers, and adobo sauce. Cook on low for 6-8 hours, until the pork is tender and falls apart easily.

Once the pork is cooked, shred it using two forks and mix well with the remaining sauce in the slow cooker. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve the spicy pineapple pulled pork in warm tortillas, topped with your favorite taco toppings such as avocado, cilantro, and lime.

This flavorful dish weighs approximately 1200g once cooked and serves 4 people. Each serving is around 300g, with an estimated calorie count of 400 per serving.

One fun tip for this recipe is to add a splash of pineapple juice to the pork while it’s cooking for an extra burst of tropical flavor. It really takes these tacos to the next level!

I hope you give these spicy pineapple pulled pork tacos a try and enjoy every bite. Feel free to get creative and make this dish your own by adding different toppings or adjusting the spice level to suit your taste. Happy cooking!
