  • Yield 6 servings
  • Ready in 25 minutes
  • Prep 15 minutes
  • Cook 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds pork tenderloin (trimmed and cut into 1-inch cubes)
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 4 garlic cloves (finely minced or pressed)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper (more to taste, if wanted)
  • 1/4 cup pineapple juice
  • 2-3 cups diced pineapple
  • 2-3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • Corn or flour tortillas for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the pork pieces and add them to the hot skillet, browning on each side until golden (the pork doesn't need to cook all the way through in this step, just get a nice color on all the pieces).
  2. Stir in the garlic, cumin, chili powder and cayenne and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the juice and pineapple and simmer the mixture until the pork is cooked through, 7-9 minutes.
  3. Stir in the cilantro. Serve with corn or flour tortillas.

Give it a minute off the heat, then serve it while it is still hot.
