Ingredients

1 lb pork tenderloin, trimmed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
Salt and pepper to taste
8 small corn or flour tortillas
1 cup fresh pineapple, diced
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 lime, juiced
1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional)

Instructions

Marinate the Pork: In a bowl, combine olive oil, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture over the pork tenderloin and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Cook the Pork: Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the pork for about 20 minutes, turning occasionally, until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Prepare the Salsa: In a separate bowl, mix the diced pineapple, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and jalapeño (if using). Season with salt to taste.
Assemble the Tacos: Warm the tortillas on the grill or in a skillet. Slice the pork and place it on each tortilla. Top with the pineapple cilantro salsa.
Serve: Enjoy the tacos immediately, garnished with additional cilantro if desired.
