Step 1
Toss the pork with chili powder, salt, and a pinch of pepper until evenly coated.
Step 2
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 60 seconds.
Step 3
Lay a tortilla flat and sprinkle 1/3 cup cheese down the center, then add 2–3 tbsp seasoned pork and a spoonful of pineapple on top.
Step 4
Fold the tortilla in half and slide into the hot skillet. Cook 2 minutes per side until the cheese melts and tortilla turns golden-brown and crispy.
Step 5
Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining 3 tortillas, adding oil between batches if needed.
Step 6
Top with red onion, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime. Serve hot.
