Pork Pineapple Tacos

Got this one from Cookinglight a couple of years ago, and can't stop making it. We always throw the tortillas on a frying pan with some cheese sprinkled on top until the tortilla is soft, but crispy and the cheese melty.

Cookinglight suggests putting some refried beans on as well, but we never have. Just the pork/pineapple mix, cilantro/onion mix and the herdez.

Prep Time: 30 min.
Cook Time: 15 min.
Servings: 6

Ingredients:
3/4 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup minced fresh cilantro
1 tsp. olive oil
1 tsp. chipotle chile pepper powder (such as McCormick)
1 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 pound pork tenderloin, trimmed and coarsely chopped
1 (15 ounce) can pineapple tidbits, undrained
flour tortillas
3/4 cups salsa verde (Herdez)

Preparation:
Combine onion, cilantro and salsa verde

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Combine chipotle powder, chili powder, salt and pork in a medium bowl. Add pork mixture to pan; saute 4 minutes, or until browned. Remove from pan.

Add pineapple to pan; bring to a boil. Cook 5 minutes or until slightly thickened. Stir in pork mixture; cook 1 minute or until pork is done.

Warm tortillas. Spoon about 2/3 cup pork mixture down center of each tortilla. Top each serving with 4 tablespoons onion/salsa mixture; roll up.
