Instructions

Prepare the Pork

In a large pot, sauté the onion and garlic until translucent. Add the pork pieces, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Pro tip: For more flavor, sear the pork before slow cooking.

Cook the Pork

Add the chicken broth and cover. Let simmer on low heat for about 4 hours or until the pork is tender and easily shreds.

Pro tip: If you have a smoker, you can smoke the pork for extra flavor.

Prepare the Pineapple

Mix the pineapple slices with brown sugar and lime juice. Let marinate for 15 minutes.

Pro tip: For an even bolder taste, smoke the pineapple slices on the BBQ.

Smoke the Pineapple

Place the pineapple slices on the grill over indirect heat for about 10 minutes, until golden.

Pro tip: Keep a close eye on the pineapple to prevent burning.

Shred the Pork

Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the pot and shred it using two forks.

Pro tip: Add a bit of cooking broth to the shredded pork to keep it moist.

Assemble the Tacos

Heat the tortillas on the grill. Top each tortilla with pulled pork, smoked pineapple slices, avocado, sour cream, red onions, and cilantro.

Pro tip: For a spicy kick, add fresh jalapeños on top.

Serve

Serve the tacos with lime wedges and enjoy immediately.

Pro tip: Pair with a good Mexican beer for a perfect meal.
