Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground pork
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup pineapple juice
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 8 small corn tortillas
- 1 cup fresh pineapple, diced
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Lime wedges, for serving
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the ground pork to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
- Pour in the pineapple juice, apple cider vinegar, and lime juice. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the mixture to thicken slightly.
- While the pork is cooking, warm the corn tortillas in a separate skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side.
- To assemble the tacos, spoon the pork mixture onto each tortilla. Top with diced pineapple, chopped cilantro, and avocado slices.
- Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.
Notes
- For added heat, include diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce in the pork mixture.
- Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option, adjusting cooking times as necessary.
