Ingredients
  

  • - 2 lbs pork shoulder or pork butt
  • - 1 cup pineapple juice
  • - 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • - 1/4 cup ketchup
  • - 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • - 2 cloves garlic minced
  • - 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • - 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • - Salt and pepper to taste
  • - 8 small flour tortillas or corn tortillas
  • - Pineapple salsa for serving
  • - Shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix for serving
  • - Sliced jalapeños for serving (optional)
  • - Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • - Lime wedges for serving

Instructions
 

  • Place the pork shoulder or pork butt in a slow cooker.
  • In a bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, soy sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, minced garlic, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.
  • Pour the marinade over the pork in the slow cooker, ensuring it is well coated.
  • Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
  • Once the pork is cooked, shred it using two forks and mix it with the juices in the slow cooker to soak up all the flavors.
  • Warm the flour tortillas or corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave.
  • Assemble the tacos by placing a generous portion of pulled pork on each tortilla, followed by a spoonful of pineapple salsa and shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix.
  • Top with sliced jalapeños for an extra kick, if desired, and garnish with fresh cilantro.
  • Serve with lime wedges on the side for a refreshing citrus twist.
