Easy Pork Tacos with Pineapple Salsa are a deliciously simple dish featuring tender, seasoned pork tucked into warm tortillas and topped with a fresh, sweet-tart pineapple salsa. The juicy pork pairs perfectly with the brightness of the salsa, which typically includes pineapple, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and jalapeño for a bit of heat. This combination creates a vibrant, tropical twist on traditional tacos. Perfect for weeknight dinners or casual gatherings, they’re quick, flavorful, and crowd-pleasing.

Ingredients

  • 1½ lbs pork tenderloin or boneless pork chops, thinly sliced

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tsp ground cumin

  • 1 tsp chili powder

  • ½ tsp smoked paprika

  • ½ tsp garlic powder

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • 2 cups fresh pineapple, finely diced

  • ½ small red onion, minced

  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced

  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

  • Juice of 1 lime

  • Salt, to taste

  • 8–10 small corn or flour tortillas, warmed

  • Extra lime wedges

  • Crumbled queso fresco or cotija cheese (optional)

Directions

  • In a bowl, combine pineapple, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Stir well. Set aside while you cook the pork.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil.
  • Add sliced pork in a single layer (cook in batches if needed).
  • Sprinkle with cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Cook 4–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pork is browned and cooked through.
  • Fill warm tortillas with pork.
  • Top generously with pineapple salsa.
  • Sprinkle with queso fresco if desired and serve with lime wedges.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate pork in the spices and a splash of lime juice for 30 minutes before cooking.
  • You can substitute canned pineapple (drained) if fresh isn’t available.
  • Leftover pork is great over salads or rice bowls.
