Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Warm the 2 small corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat until soft and pliable, about 1 minute per side.

  2. 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.

  3. Step 3

    Divide the pork and pineapple between the tortillas. Top with 0.5 cup shredded purple cabbage and 2 tbsp cilantro.

  4. Step 4

    Serve with 1 lime wedge and your favorite red sauce on the side. Squeeze lime over the tacos before eating.
