Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, combine 2 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp garlic powder, 3 tbsp lime juice, 2 tbsp olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Add 1 lb thinly sliced pork shoulder and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Step 2: While pork marinates, prepare mango salsa: In a small bowl, mix 1 diced ripe mango, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 1 minced jalapeño, 1 tsp honey, and salt to taste. Stir well and refrigerate.
Step 3: Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Grill marinated pork slices for 3-4 minutes per side until cooked through and slightly charred.
Step 4: Warm 8 small corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Divide grilled pork among tortillas and top each with 2-3 tablespoons of mango salsa. Serve immediately.
