Pineapple Chipotle Pork Tacos Recipe
These pork tacos are made with boneless pork roast marinated in pineapple, orange juice, garlic and chipotle, then slow cooked until it shreds. A quick reduced sauce keeps the meat juicy and full of al pastor style flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 large onion roughly chopped
- ½ pineapple peeled and chopped
- juice from 1 orange
- 1/4 white balsamic vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- 5 garlic cloves
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- ¼ tsp chile powder
- Pinch of cumin
- 1 chipotle Chile in adobo sauce
- 2 pounds boneless sirloin pork roast
Instructions
- Blend the onion, pineapple, orange juice, vinegar, garlic cloves, salt, thyme, cumin, chile powder and chipotle chile on the food processor. Trim excess fat of the pork. Place pork inside a large resealable bag. Add the marinade and let the pork sit in the fridge, marinating for 4 hours and up to 24.
- Transfer the pork and marinade to the slow cooker and let it cook for 6 hours on high. Shred pork using two forks and drain the liquid that remained in the slow cooker.
- Cook strained liquid in a medium sauce pan over medium heat until reduced, about 10-15 minutes and pour about 1/2 cup of it over shredded pork.
- Serve in tacos with salsa verde or mango salsa and lime slices
