Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1 tablespoon soy-based liquid seasoning (such as Maggi® Jugo)
  • ½ teaspoon chipotle powder
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Pineapple Salsa

  • 1 cup diced fresh pineapple
  • ¼ cup minced red onion
  • 1 small jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
  • ½ lime, juiced
  • salt to taste
  • 8 (6 inch) corn tortillas

Directions

Step 1
Combine ground pork, liquid seasoning, ground chipotle powder, and garlic in a bowl. Set aside for flavors to meld.

Step 2
Combine pineapple, red onion, jalapeno, cilantro, lime juice, and salt in a bowl. Set pineapple salsa aside.

Step 3
Preheat a large skillet over high heat. Crumble ground pork into the hot skillet. Cook and stir until pork is completely browned and edges begin to crisp, 7 to 10 minutes. Drain any excess grease. Place pork in a bowl and keep warm. Wipe out skillet.

Step 4
Warm tortillas in skillet over medium-low heat, about 20 seconds per side. Divide meat mixture between tortillas and top with pineapple salsa

Cook’s Note:

Jugo Maggi seasoning is the Mexican version of regular Maggi seasoning, and can be found in the International aisle of your supermarket. It lends a deep umami flavor to the meat. If you cannot find either, you can combine equal parts soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce.
