These pork and pineapple tacos with avocado and soured cream make a delicious, quick weeknight meal.
Pork is one of my favourite meats to eat in tacos, and I’ve made a version of this before with slow cooked pulled pork which was so tasty. But sometimes, you just need something tasty in a hurry and that’s where these 15 minute pork and pineapple tacos come in.
I’ve made a couple of decisions here to make them super quick. First, I use pork mince – which is cooked (swiftly) until it’s caramelised and yummy. I also use tinned pineapple pieces – so much quicker midweek than prepping a fresh pineapple!
The result is totally moreish tacos that you’ll want to make again and again.
The Ingredients
- Onion and garlic– to start off the mince cooking with plenty of flavour.
- Pork mince – try to get a good quality one – mince with a high water content won’t caramelise as well.
- Smoked paprika, ground coriander, hot chilli powder – the spices for the pork. I think this dish can take plenty of heat because of the sweetness of the pineapple (and the honey we add), so feel free to add extra if you like it spicy.
- Honey – just adds a little sweetness to the pork and aids the caramelisation.
- Taco wraps, soured cream, avocado, tinned pineapple– these are your toppings. You can, of course, use fresh pineapple but tinned pineapple makes this really quick and easy.
