Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Add shredded pork, chili powder, and cumin. Stir constantly until the spices coat the meat, ~60 seconds.

  3. Step 3

    Pour in pineapple juice and cook without stirring until the liquid reduces and edges crisp, 3–4 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or over a flame until pliable, about 30 seconds per side.

  5. Step 5

    Pile pork onto tortillas, top with cilantro and diced onion, and serve with a lime wedge.

Tools you’ll need

  • large skillet (12-inch cast iron or nonstick)
