Taco Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Pork

    In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add the pork shoulder and coat it well with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pork

    Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the pork from the marinade and cook for about 20-25 minutes until the meat is fully cooked and has a nice char. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Tacos

    Warm the corn tortillas on the grill or in a skillet. Fill each tortilla with sliced pork, diced pineapple, chopped onion, and cilantro. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the tacos warm with extra lime wedges on the side.
