1
Marinate the Pork
In a bowl, combine the orange juice, chili powder, cumin, and minced garlic. Add the pork shoulder and coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
2
Cook the Pork
Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the pork from the marinade and grill for about 4-5 minutes per side until nicely charred and cooked through. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.
3
Caramelize the Onions
In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook until softened and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. Set aside.
4
Char the Pineapple
On the same grill or skillet, add the pineapple slices and grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side until caramelized. Remove from heat and chop into small pieces.
5
Warm the Tortillas
Warm the corn tortillas on the grill or in a dry skillet until soft and pliable.
6
Assemble the Tacos
Place a few slices of the grilled pork on each tortilla, top with caramelized onions, charred pineapple, and your choice of salsa and pickled cabbage.
