Caramelized Pork Tacos with Pineapple Salsa

My husband and I aren't really pork eaters. It dries out rather quickly and just doesn't have the flavor that we like from chicken or beef. We love bacon and I eat enough Prosciutto to last a lifetime, but pork meals have never been a favorite.

Until Now.

This pork taco is so tender and juicy. You might want to double the recipe because your family will love it as much as mine.

My Sous Chef for the day :)




  • 18 oz boneless, skinless pork, cut into slices
  • 1 Tbs EVOO
  • 1 shallot
  • 1 clove garlic, grated
  • 2 tsp oyster sauce
  • 2 Tbs sugar
  • 2 Tbs water
                   
                         Salsa
  • 1 cup pineapple, chopped
  • 1/2 avocado, chopped
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 lime
  • Pinch of salt
                        Tortillas




Start by heating the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the shallot and garlic and cook for a few minutes until fragrant, about 2 minutes.



Add the pork and oyster sauce. Cook and stir until pork is cooked through.
Sprinkle the sugar and water over the pork. Let the pork caramelize, stirring only a few times.
When the pork is golden brown, remove from heat.



Put all the salsa ingredients into a small bowl or right into the dish you will serve the salsa from.


Heat the tortillas in a hot skillet, if desired. 
Place the pork on the tortilla and top with the pineapple salsa!
