Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce. • Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion; mince a few slices until you have 2 TBSP (4 TBSP for 4 servings). Drain pineapple over a small bowl, reserving juice; roughly chop. Finely dice tomato. Finely chop cilantro. Quarter lime.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add sliced onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until just softened, 3-4 minutes. • Add another drizzle of oil, then add pork*, Southwest Spice, pineapple juice, half the Tex- Mex paste (all for 4 servings), ½ tsp sugar (1 tsp for 4), salt, and pepper. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until pork is warmed through, 2-3 minutes. • Turn off heat.
• While filling cooks, in a second small bowl, combine minced onion, chopped pineapple, tomato, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice to taste. Season with salt and pepper. • Wrap tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave until warm and pliable, 30 seconds.
• Divide tortillas between plates; fill with pork filling and pineapple salsa. Serve with any remaining lime wedges on the side.

Reviews from our home cooks
Very delicious, but a bit too spicy for us. Would reduce a bit of the Tex-Mex Paste next time to make it more to our taste. We did not make the salsa, just used the pineapple and minced onions as toppings to be used as desired. Omitted the lime. Added the cilantro to the pork taco mixture during the last few minutes of heating. With these changes this would still be a meal we would order again.
These are SO easy and delicious! The pork has the purrrrfect Flavor and spice. The pineapple salsa balances it out :) this was a good summer dinner since we didnt have to start the oven.
Super easy to make and delicious! The pineapple salsa added a nice crunch and flavor to the tacos. My husband really liked the salsa which was unexpected as he generally doesn't like those kinds of things.
These were quite good. The pork and pineapple combo is lovely but could use something to help break up the sweetness. We shredded a bit of cabbage and vegged up the pineapple salsa which was a super cheap and easy fix.
So delicious!! The combo of savory pulled pork and sweet tangy salsa is incredible. The sauce on the pork has so much flavor. Definitely a favorite meal.
The pulled pork is just okay, a little greasy and salty. Would be great with a slaw on the side. Pineapple salsa and al pastor seasoning were very good.
I love the combination of fruit and pork. The pineapple salsa was tasteful and with the seasoned pork. So many ways to modify this dish, but great the way it is prepared.
My boyfriend grew up in a taco-friendly environment and was impressed with how good these were... al pastor is his favorite. Made it for him on his birthday - and mine! (We share the same b'day.)
Pineapple salsa was a great addition to these tacos. The full packet of seasoning was too much in my opinion. I should have started with half and then seasoned to taste.
This dish was amazing! The pork flavor was delicious and the pineapple salsa was such a great addition to make the dish taste even better. I would definitely order this again.
