Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin, trimmed
- 1 cup fresh pineapple, cut into rings
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 small corn or flour tortillas

Instructions
- Marinate the Pork: In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the pork tenderloin and coat well. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Grill the Pineapple: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the pineapple rings on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until caramelized. Remove from the grill and set aside.
- Grill the Pork: Place the marinated pork on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Assemble the Tacos: Warm the tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side. Slice the grilled pork and place it on the tortillas. Top with grilled pineapple and chopped cilantro.
- Serve: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the tacos and serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
