Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine 1 lb thinly sliced pork shoulder with 2 tbsp jerk seasoning and 2 tbsp olive oil. Toss to coat and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill 4 fresh pineapple rings for 3-4 minutes per side until caramelized and grill marks appear. Remove and chop into bite-size pieces.
  3. Step 3: Grill the marinated pork slices for 3-5 minutes per side until cooked through and slightly charred.
  4. Step 4: In a separate bowl, mix 2 cups shredded green cabbage, 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 2 tbsp lime juice, 3 tbsp mayonnaise, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to make a zesty slaw.
  5. Step 5: Warm 8 small corn tortillas on the grill for 20 seconds per side. Assemble tacos by layering grilled pork, pineapple chunks, and a generous spoonful of cilantro slaw. Serve immediately.
