Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Pork tenderloin
- 1 cup Pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
- 1 Poblano chile (or mild green chile), diced
- 8 Small corn tortillas
- 1 tsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Chili powder
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- 1 Lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Slice the pork tenderloin into thin strips, about 2 inches long.
In a small bowl, mix the ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the pork strips and toss to coat.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and let it warm up for about 30 seconds.
Add the diced poblano chile to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
Push the chile to one side of the skillet and add the seasoned pork strips to the pan in a single layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the pork is browned and cooked through.
Add the pineapple chunks to the skillet and stir everything together. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the pineapple is slightly caramelized and heated through.
Warm the corn tortillas by placing them in a separate dry skillet over medium heat for 20-30 seconds on each side, or until pliable.
Assemble the tacos by dividing the pork, pineapple, and chile mixture evenly between the 8 tortillas. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, if desired.
Serve the tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
