Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a medium bowl, combine ground pork, liquid seasoning, chipotle powder, and minced garlic. Mix well to ensure even distribution of flavors. Allow the mixture to rest for at least 5 minutes to let the flavors meld. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

While the pork marinates, prepare the pineapple salsa. In a separate bowl, combine diced pineapple, minced red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Toss gently to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. (Prep time: 10 minutes)

03

Step

Heat a large skillet over high heat. Once hot, add the ground pork mixture, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the pork is fully browned and slightly crispy around the edges, approximately 7-10 minutes. Drain any excess grease from the skillet. Transfer the cooked pork to a bowl and keep warm. (Cook time: 7-10 minutes)

04

Step

Wipe the skillet clean. Warm the corn tortillas one at a time in the skillet over medium-low heat for about 20 seconds per side, until pliable and slightly softened. (Cook time: ~3 minutes)

05

Step

Assemble the tacos: Divide the cooked ground pork evenly among the warmed tortillas. Top each taco with a generous spoonful of the fresh pineapple salsa. Serve immediately and enjoy! (Assembly time: 2 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the pineapple before dicing it for the salsa.
If you prefer a milder salsa, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeño before mincing.
To keep the tortillas warm while assembling the tacos, wrap them in a clean kitchen towel or place them in a tortilla warmer.
Consider adding a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of crumbled cotija cheese for added richness.
