How do I make it?
- Pat pork with paper towel to remove excess moisture. Add all spices to a large bowl and mix to combine. Place pork into the bowl and use your hands to rub the spice mixture over all surfaces of the pork until it is evenly coated.
- Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook for 4 minutes, turnings to brown on all sides. Add vinegar and lime juice to the pan and cook until evaporated. Remove from heat, place on a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
- Add pineapple, chilli and 1 tablespoon coriander leaves to a bowl, season and toss to combine. Set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a small frying pan over high heat. Cook tortillas, 1 at a time, until browned on each side. Add extra oil to the pan if needed.
- To serve, top tortillas with lettuce, pork and pineapple mixture and garnish with extra coriander. Serve with your favourite salsa.
