Today’s Special: Spicy Pineapple Pork Tacos

Welcome to my food blog! Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that combines the sweetness of pineapple with the savory kick of spicy pork in a delicious taco filling. This dish is perfect for a summer gathering or a weeknight dinner when you want to spice things up a bit!

Ingredients:

  • 400g pork shoulder, diced
  • 200g pineapple, diced
  • 100g red onion, chopped
  • 1 jalapeno, minced
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • to taste
  • 8 small tortillas
  • for serving

Kitchen Tools:

  • chef’s knife
  • cutting board
  • skillet
  • wooden spoon

To start, heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the diced pork shoulder. Cook until browned on all sides, then add the red onion, jalapeno, garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes until the onions are softened and the spices are fragrant.

Next, add the diced pineapple to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the pineapple to caramelize slightly.

Warm the tortillas in a separate skillet or in the microwave. Spoon the spicy pineapple pork mixture onto each tortilla and garnish with a squeeze of fresh lime juice.

This recipe makes 8 tacos and each serving weighs approximately 150g. One serving of these spicy pineapple pork tacos is estimated to be around 300 calories.

Clever Tip:

For an extra burst of flavor, try grilling the pineapple before dicing it and adding it to the pork mixture. The caramelized grilled pineapple adds a smoky sweetness that takes these tacos to the next level!

I hope you enjoy making and devouring these spicy pineapple pork tacos as much as I do. Feel free to customize them with your favorite toppings or add-ins to make them your own masterpiece. Happy cooking!
