Marinade

Tacos

Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine the pineapple juice, white vinegar, chipotle peppers, minced garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, black pepper, and fresh lime juice. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Pork

    Add the pork shoulder to the marinade, ensuring it is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

Cooking the Pork

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Skillet

    Preheat your grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Cook the Pork

    Remove the pork from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill or pan-sear the pork for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

  3. 5

    Let it Rest

    Once cooked, remove the pork from the heat and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing it thinly.

Assembling the Tacos

  1. 6

    Warm the Tortillas

    Warm the corn tortillas on the grill or in a skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  2. 7

    Assemble the Tacos

    Place a portion of the sliced pork on each tortilla. Top with chopped cilantro, finely chopped onion, and diced pineapple.

  3. 8

    Serve

    Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top. Enjoy!
