Step 1
Warm the 2 small corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat until soft and pliable, about 1 minute per side.
Step 2
In the same skillet, add the 1 cup carnitas and 0.5 cup pineapple chunks. Cook over medium-high until the pork is heated through and slightly crispy at the edges, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 3
Divide the pork and pineapple between the tortillas. Top with 0.5 cup shredded purple cabbage and 2 tbsp cilantro.
Step 4
Serve with 1 lime wedge and your favorite red sauce on the side. Squeeze lime over the tacos before eating.
