Taco Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a blender, combine the pineapple juice, guajillo chiles, ancho chiles, garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Pork

    Cut the pork shoulder into chunks and marinate in the blended mixture for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

  3. 3

    Cook the Pork

    Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat. Cook the marinated pork until it reaches an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F), about 30-40 minutes.

  4. 4

    Make the Avocado Mousse

    In a bowl, mash the avocados and mix in lime juice, salt, and garlic powder until smooth.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Grilled Pineapple Habanero Sauce

    Grill the diced pineapple and habanero pepper until caramelized. Blend with lime juice and honey until smooth.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Tacos

    Warm the corn tortillas. Fill with cooked pork, top with avocado mousse, diced onion, fresh cilantro, and drizzle with grilled pineapple habanero sauce.
