Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin, sliced into thin strips
- 1 cup fresh pineapple, cut into chunks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 small corn or flour tortillas
- Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish

Instructions
- Marinate the Pork: In a bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Add the pork strips and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Grill the Pineapple: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the pineapple chunks and grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side until charred and caramelized. Remove from the grill and set aside.
- Cook the Pork: In the same grill or pan, add the marinated pork strips and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until cooked through and slightly charred.
- Warm the Tortillas: While the pork is cooking, warm the tortillas on a separate skillet or directly on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side.
- Assemble the Tacos: Place the grilled pork on the warmed tortillas, top with charred pineapple, and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
