PINEAPPLE AND PORK TACOS WITH AVOCADO CREMA
If you enjoy authentic Mexican food, you're probably already familiar with the shepherd style tacos that inspired this recipe. Pan searing not only keeps the cooking method lean, but it also intensifies the inherent sweetness of the pineapple. The recipe came from flat belly diet meal. I never once would dream of cutting up a pork tenderloin in cubes, but the recipe called for it and I am glad I tried this. This is one of the best recipe that I have ever eaten. I did use all of the pork tenderloin and cooked it in batches because my husband loves to eat.

GRILLED PORK TACOS WITH PINEAPPLE
The combination of earthy dried chiles and fruity pineapple are hallmarks of al Pastore. But so are long marination times and slow roasting. These speedy tacos are far from al Pastore, but they do bring together the similar citrusy, fruity and earthy flavors. Make sure your grill is hot and well greased to get the right char and caramelization on the pork.

Steps:
- Preheat a grill to medium high. Put the chiles on a microwave-safe plate and microwave until fragrant and pliable, about 10 seconds (or toast in a small dry skillet over medium heat). Remove the stems, then tear the chiles and transfer to a blender. Add the vegetable oil, 1 pineapple slice, the orange juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Puree until smooth.
- Trim the pork, then halve crosswise and lengthwise to create 4 pieces. Put in a shallow dish, add the chile puree and turn to coat; let marinate, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, put the onion in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse under cold water; transfer to a bowl. Stir in the lime juice and a big pinch each of salt and pepper; set aside.
- Remove the pork from the marinade and season with salt and pepper. Oil the grill grates, then transfer the pork and remaining 2 pineapple slices to the grill. Cover the grill and cook, turning the pineapple and pork occasionally, until the pineapple is well marked, about 4 minutes, and the pork is just cooked through and lightly charred, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Chop the pineapple and add to the onion mixture along with the chopped cilantro; season with salt and pepper. Slice the pork and the avocado. Warm the tortillas as the label directs. Fill with the pork, pineapple mixture, avocado and cilantro leaves.

- Place the pork belly in a baking dish. Combine the granulated sugar and salt; rub this mixture all over the pork. Cover and refrigerate for 12 to 24 hours.
- Remove the pork from the refrigerator, pat dry and discard any liquid that has accumulated. Toss with the 1/4 cup ancho chili powder to coat. Return the pork to the baking dish and transfer to the oven. Roast for 30 minutes, then reduce the heat to 275° and roast for an additional 30 to 45 minutes, until the pork is golden-brown and tender.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. This is easiest to cut if it’s cold, so you can prepare this ahead and refrigerate until cold; alternatively, you can cut this warm but it won’t be as clean-looking. Cube the pork belly into small, bite-sized pieces. Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the pork belly; cook for 6 to 8 minutes, until the pork is warmed through and slightly crisp and golden-brown all over. Add the drained pineapple and toss to coat. Season with additional ancho chili powder, if desired.
