Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Chop the white onion, cilantro, and pineapple into small pieces. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pork

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the marinated pork until fully cooked and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and shred or chop into bite-sized pieces.

  3. 3

    Melt the Cheese

    In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low. Place one tortilla in the skillet, add a portion of the cooked pork on top, followed by a generous amount of cheese. Place another tortilla on top and cook until the cheese is melted, about 3-5 minutes. Flip the gringa carefully and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until both sides are golden.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Gringa

    Remove the gringa from the skillet and let it rest for a minute. Cut into quarters and top with chopped onions, cilantro, and pineapple.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the gringa with guacamole and lime wedges on the side. Enjoy!
