For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the ground pork mixture. If you prefer a milder salsa, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeno before mincing. For a spicier kick, leave some of the jalapeno seeds in the salsa. Feel free to experiment with different toppings, such as crumbled cotija cheese, a drizzle of crema, or a squeeze of lime.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a mixing bowl, gently combine the ground pork, liquid seasoning, chipotle powder, and minced garlic. Ensure the mixture is well integrated, allowing the flavors to meld together harmoniously. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
StepPrepare the Pineapple Salsa: In a separate bowl, combine the diced pineapple, minced red onion, jalapeno, cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Gently toss the ingredients together, ensuring the flavors are evenly distributed. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld. (Prep time: 10 minutes)
03
StepHeat a large skillet over high heat until it is very hot. Crumble the seasoned ground pork into the skillet, spreading it evenly. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the pork is fully browned and the edges begin to crisp, approximately 7 to 10 minutes. Drain any excess grease from the skillet to maintain a delightful crispy texture. Transfer the cooked pork to a bowl and keep warm. Wipe the skillet clean. (Cook time: 10 minutes)
04
StepWarm the corn tortillas in the same skillet over medium-low heat, about 20 seconds per side, until they are pliable and slightly softened. This step enhances their flavor and texture. (Cook time: 3 minutes)
05
StepDivide the flavorful ground pork mixture evenly among the warmed tortillas. Generously top each taco with the vibrant Pineapple Salsa. Serve immediately and enjoy the explosion of flavors! (Assembly time: 2 minutes)
