Tender pork is crisped up and layered on crispy cheese on a corn tortilla with tangy, sweet, smoky chipotle pineapple salsa.

Ingredients

  • Chipotle Pineapple Salsa
  • 1 small Pineapple, cored and diced
  • 3-4 Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce
  • 1/2 Red Onion, diced
  • 1/2 bunch of Cilantro, finely chopped
  • Juice of 1 Lime
  • Tacos
  • 3 to 4 cups Pork Shoulder, shredded
  • Shredded Mexican Cheese Blend (about 1/4 cup per taco)
  • Corn Tortillas

Instructions

Chipotle Pineapple Salsa

1

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well, set aside.

Tacos

2

Get a cast iron, or heavy bottom pan very hot over high heat. Drizzle a little oil in the pan and reduce the heat to medium, add the pork.

3

Stirring once or twice, heat the pork through, letting some of it get crispy, about 5 minutes. Transfer meat to a serving dish and keep in a warm oven.

4

Return the same pan to medium heat and, doing two tacos at a time, add 1/4 cup of the shredded cheese for each taco directly to the pan. Make two small piles of cheese in the pan.

5

When the cheese is melted, bubbly and browning on the edges, lay one tortilla on each portion of melted cheese. Using a spatula, flip the tortillas to lightly toast the other side.

6

Repeat with as many tacos as you plan to serve.

7

With the tortillas cheese side up, pile on the pork, then the chipotle pineapple salsa.
