Ingredients

1 lb pork shoulder, cut into small cubes
1/2 cup guava paste
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 small corn or flour tortillas
1 cup diced onions
1 cup chopped cilantro
Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

Marinate the Pork: In a bowl, combine guava paste, soy sauce, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and salt. Add the pork cubes and mix well. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Cook the Pork: Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated pork and cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pork is cooked through and slightly caramelized.
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 until pliable.
Assemble the Tacos: Place a generous portion of the spicy guava pork on each tortilla. Top with diced onions and chopped cilantro.
Serve: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the tacos and serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
