Today’s Special: Spicy Pineapple Pork Tacos

As the summer days draw to a close, I find myself craving the flavors of the tropics with a hint of heat. That’s why I’m excited to share my recipe for Spicy Pineapple Pork Tacos with you today. This dish combines the sweetness of pineapple with the boldness of pork and a kick of spice for a truly unique and satisfying meal.

To start, gather the following ingredients:

  • 500g pork shoulder, cubed
  • 1 small pineapple, diced
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 jalapeno, sliced
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 8 small tortillas
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped

For this recipe, you will need the following kitchen tools:

  • large skillet
  • wooden spoon
  • knife
  • cutting board
  • measuring spoons

Start by heating a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cubed pork shoulder and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the sliced onion, minced garlic, and sliced jalapeno. Sauté until the onions are translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Add the diced pineapple, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.

Return the pork to the skillet and simmer for another 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Warm the tortillas in a separate skillet or in the oven. Fill each tortilla with the spicy pineapple pork mixture and top with fresh cilantro.

This Spicy Pineapple Pork Tacos recipe serves 4 and each serving is approximately 300g. One serving contains approximately 400 calories.

One clever tip for this recipe is to marinate the pork in the pineapple juice for a few hours before cooking. This will tenderize the meat and infuse it with even more of that tropical flavor.

I hope you enjoy making and eating these Spicy Pineapple Pork Tacos as much as I do. Feel free to customize them with your favorite toppings or add-ins. Happy cooking!
