Lime Pork Tacos with Pineapple Slaw

I have been on a taco kick as of late, it's all I'll order at restaurants and it's all I crave. There are so many different variations on the traditional taco that it satisfies any type of craving you might get, meat, vegetarian, sweet, tangy, spicy, salty, juicy, crisp, so on and so on. Well I needed something of a mixture, a little tangy and a little spicy. These little babies sure as hell delivered on the satisfaction front, they also did not take that long to prep, which is also just an extra bonus on top of this recipe. Taco, taco, taco! (Also, just as a little added something, these tasted terrific with a good Moscow Mule cocktail).

Ingredients:

• 3 thin boneless pork loins
• 1 1/2 cups of coleslaw mix
• 8 oz pineapple chunks, 1/4 cup juice set aside
• 1/4 cup pale ale beer or any light beer
• 1/4 cup mayo
• 1/4 cup minced cilantro
• 4 minced garlic cloves
• 4 green onions root part removed and chopped
• juice from half a lime
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tsp salt 
• 1 tsp onion power 
• 1 tsp garlic powder 
• 1 tsp black pepper 
• 1/2 tsp oregano 
• 1/2 tsp chili powder 
• 1/2 tsp chipotle seasoning
• 1/2 tsp cumin
• 6 small flour tortillas

We had a beautiful day for record store day and the husband and I found some pretty kick ass finds. One in particular being a box set of Townes Van Zant's demos and studio recordings from the early 70's. If you don't know who Townes is and you are a lyric lover like me, you're going to fall head over heels for this poetically sad genius. 

Direction:

1. In a medium sized bowl, mix together your mayo, pineapple juice, cilantro, your seasonings (minus salt and pepper to taste), and garlic. Take 1/4 cup of the mixture and set it aside. Then to your medium bowl add your pineapple chunks, lime juice, green onion, cole slaw and a dash of salt. Toss to combine.
2. Next take your pork and rub it with your reserved mayo mix, add it to a skillet on medium high heat and salt and pepper it to your liking. After about 4 minutes of cooking, flip your pork, add your beer and cover for another 4 minutes or until browned on both sides.
3. When pork is done wait for it to cool then cut it into strips. Arrange your tortillas on your serving plates and add both the pork and coleslaw mix to each tortilla evenly.
4. Serve!

Happy Eatings Everyone!
