Cooking Steps
Wash and dry produce.
Drain pineapple, reserving juice in a small bowl; roughly chop pineapple. Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion; mince a few slices until you have 1 TBSP (2 TBSP for 4 servings). Roughly chop cilantro. Quarter lime. Halve, core, and thinly slice green pepper into strips.
In a second small bowl, combine pineapple, minced onion, half the cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice to taste. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add sliced onion and green pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and slightly softened, 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Reduce to medium heat.
Add pork* and Southwest Spice Blend to pan with veggies. (TIP: Not sure how much pork to use? Reference the "Before you start" section at left for guidance.) Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.
Stir in pineapple juice and Tex-Mex paste; cook until thickened and saucy, 1-2 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Remove pan from heat and stir in remaining cilantro.
While pork cooks, wrap tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave until warm and pliable, 30 seconds.
Divide tortillas between plates and fill with pork filling. Top with pineapple salsa and dollop with sour cream. Serve with any remaining lime wedges on the side.

Review summary
Updated on Mar 2026- Flavor: Many loved the sweet-and-savory combo, with the pineapple salsa adding a perfect touch. Some found it bland; consider boosting seasoning to taste 🌶️.
- Ease of prep: Quick and easy to prepare, with simple steps and minimal cleanup. A few suggested allowing extra time for a more relaxed cooking experience.
- Suggestions: Add fresh tomato and jalapeño for extra kick. Consider making extra pineapple salsa; it's a hit and some wanted more 🍍.
- Portions: Several noted excess meat but not enough toppings. Consider balancing meat-to-topping ratio or saving extra meat for leftovers.
- Texture: Some found the tacos messy to eat. Try warming tortillas longer for better structure, or consider using larger tortillas.
Reviews from our home cooks
This is normally one of my favorite meals, but something changed with the meat. It seemed like twice as much meat was included as before (and it might have been leaner), but other ingredients were not adjusted. The result was incredibly overstuffed, slightly bland tacos.
The meal is very good but the taco shells were very thin and essentially fell apart when attempting to eat.
This is one of my favorite meals. Easy prep and cook.
Very delicious and filling. Really liked the spice in this recipe.
Perfect combination of sweet and spicy with no extra dishes
Awesome tacos. We always wish there was more salsa as it's so tasty!
Wish you would include more sour cream. If there's 2 servings then include 2 things of sour cream and so on
