Ingredients
1 pound ground pork
1 tablespoon soy-based liquid seasoning (such as Maggi® Jugo)
½ teaspoon chipotle powder
1 clove garlic, minced
Pineapple Salsa:
1 cup diced fresh pineapple
¼ cup minced red onion
1 small jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
½ lime, juiced
salt to taste
8 (6 inch) corn tortillas
Directions
Combine ground pork, liquid seasoning, ground chipotle powder, and garlic in a bowl. Set aside for flavors to meld.
Combine pineapple, red onion, jalapeno, cilantro, lime juice, and salt in a bowl. Set pineapple salsa aside.
Preheat a large skillet over high heat. Crumble ground pork into the hot skillet. Cook and stir until pork is completely browned and edges begin to crisp, 7 to 10 minutes. Drain any excess grease. Place pork in a bowl and keep warm. Wipe out skillet.
Warm tortillas in skillet over medium-low heat, about 20 seconds per side. Divide meat mixture between tortillas and top with pineapple salsa
Cook’s Note:
Jugo Maggi seasoning is the Mexican version of regular Maggi seasoning, and can be found in the International aisle of your supermarket. It lends a deep umami flavor to the meat. If you cannot find either, you can combine equal parts soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce.
