We’re obsessed with sweet and savory flavor combos for dinner, which is why we have a soft spot for tacos al pastor. The dish traditionally involves pork marinated in pineapple juice and spices, then slowly spit-roasted for ultra-tender results. In this riff on the classic, we skip the slow-cooking by swapping out the pork shoulder for ground pork. It’s browned with a bounty of Southwest spices, simmered with chunks of pineapple until saucy, and stuffed into warm tortillas with lime crema and pickled onion and radish. You can have all that in just 30 minutes—taco ’bout a dinner winner!

• Wash and dry produce. • Trim and thinly slice radishes. Zest and quarter lime. Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. Drain pineapple, reserving juice.

• In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine radishes, juice from half the lime, ¼ of the onion, and a big pinch of salt; cover with plastic wrap. Microwave until veggies are slightly pink, 30-45 seconds. • In a separate small bowl, combine sour cream with lime zest. Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. Season with salt and pepper.

• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pineapple and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until browned and caramelized, 3-4 minutes. • Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan.

• Heat a drizzle of oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Add remaining onion and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until softened, 4-6 minutes. • Add pork* and Southwest Spice Blend. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. • Stir in Tex-Mex paste, caramelized pineapple, and reserved pineapple juice until mixture is saucy and combined.
Open package of chicken and drain off any excess liquid. Swap in chicken (no need to break up into pieces!) or beef for pork. Cook through remainder of step as instructed.

• While pork cooks, wrap tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave until warm and pliable, 30 seconds.

• Divide tortillas between plates; fill with pork mixture, lime crema, and as many pickled veggies (draining first) as you like. Pick cilantro leaves from stems; tear leaves into pieces and sprinkle over tacos. Serve with any remaining lime wedges on the side.
Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.
The pickled radishes and charred pineapple really lightened this meal up! It was still flavor packed and had just the right amount of spice.
Flavor was good, cooking instructions are good, ingredients were fresh. The only thing that could have been better is the portion, I could eat all 2 portions if I'm being honest
I love the crunch of the onions and radishes along with the meat and crema!
Delicious. Loved the contrast of the radishes and pineapple. So good!
Good flavors! The Tex-Mex paste is always good! Too little sour cream, though. Should be 1 per portion.
The tangy sweet of the tacos was really nice. I liked the pickled radishes too. Only 3 stars because of the lack of veggies.
Very tasty. Maybe more volume? The filling was scraped clean.
It was a great combination of flavors! Hope to make it again!
Another great one, loved the radishes - such a unique flavor addition.
The onion was very chewy despite being cooked in the pan for a while. There was too much radish. Not enough cream to balance it out.
