Seasoned ground pork is cooked with our smoky, spicy Tex-Mex paste and pineapple juice, then folded into corn tortillas with a melty blend of Mexican cheeses and pan-crisped until golden. A fresh tomato-pineapple salsa with cilantro and lime juice adds bright, tangy contrast, while cool sour cream balances the smoky heat. The tacos are cooked in the same pan as the pork, soaking up every bit of flavor.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

Cook Pork
1
  • Drain pineapple, reserving juice in a small bowl. Roughly chop pineapple.
  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork*, Tex-Mex paste, and reserved pineapple juice (reserve bowl for the next step). Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. 
  • Turn off heat (you’ll use the pork in Step 3).
Make Salsa
2
  • While pork cooks, wash and dry produce.
  • Dice tomato into ½-inch pieces. Roughly chop cilantro. Quarter lime.
  • In bowl used for pineapple juice, combine tomato, chopped pineapple, cilantro, juice from half the lime, salt, and pepper
Assemble Tacos
3
  • Arrange tortillas on a clean work surface. Top one half of each tortilla with pork and Mexican cheese blend (make sure to leave half the tortilla empty!).
Cook Tacos
4
  • Heat pan used for pork over medium heat (no need to wipe out pan; add another drizzle of oil if it seems dry).
  • Working in batches, add tortillas, filled sides up, to pan; cook until tortillas begin to soften, 30-60 seconds.
  • Fold in half to form tacos. Cook 2 minutes, then carefully flip. Cook until tortillas are golden brown and cheese melts, 1-2 minutes more.
  • Transfer tacos to a paper-towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining tortillas, adding a drizzle of oil between batches.
Serve
5
  • Divide tacos between plates. Top with sour cream and pineapple salsa. Serve with remaining lime wedges on the side.

Review summary

Updated on Sep 2026
  • Flavor: The pineapple salsa and Tex-Mex filling tasted great; some found the pork a little bland or preferred a different sauce profile 🌶️.
  • Ease of prep: The one-pan method is convenient, but folding and crisping the corn tortillas proved tricky and messy for many cooks.
  • Suggestions: Warm the tortillas before folding to reduce cracking, and wipe out the pan between the pork and tortilla steps to prevent burned sugars from sticking. Some customers successfully used romaine lettuce leaves as a substitute when tortillas broke.
  • Leftovers: One customer added red onion to the cooked pineapple-tomato topping, which made for a more flavorful garnish worth trying.
