Welcome, foodies! Today, I am excited to share a recipe that combines the sweetness of pineapple with the bold flavors of spicy pulled pork. This dish is perfect for a casual gathering with friends or a cozy night in. Let’s get cooking!

Ingredients:

• slow cooker
• knife
• cutting board
• can opener

To create these mouth-watering tacos, you will need the following ingredients:

• 1 kg pork shoulder, diced
• 500g fresh pineapple, chopped
• 1 red onion, diced
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Corn tortillas, for serving
• Optional toppings: sliced avocado, fresh cilantro, lime wedges

Preparation:

Begin by seasoning the diced pork shoulder with salt, pepper, cumin, and smoked paprika. In a slow cooker, combine the seasoned pork, fresh pineapple, red onion, garlic, chipotle peppers, chicken broth, and apple cider vinegar. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the pork is tender and easy to shred.

Once the pork is cooked, use two forks to shred it in the slow cooker, allowing it to soak up all the flavorful juices. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Let the pork mixture simmer for an additional 30 minutes to enhance the flavors.

Warm the corn tortillas in a skillet until they are soft and pliable. Fill each tortilla with a generous amount of the spicy pineapple pulled pork mixture. Top with sliced avocado, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice for a burst of freshness.

Serving:

This recipe yields approximately 6 servings. Each serving of these spicy pineapple pulled pork tacos weighs around 200g and contains roughly 350 calories. Feel free to customize your tacos with your favorite toppings or additional spices to suit your taste preferences.

Tip:

For an extra kick of flavor, try adding a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese on top of your tacos before serving. The tanginess of the cheese complements the sweetness of the pineapple and the spiciness of the pork perfectly.
