Description

Citrus-marinated pork and grilled pineapple wonton tacos dolloped with crema.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE TACOS:
  • ¼ cups Fresh Orange Juice
  • ¼ cups Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 2 Tablespoons Chili Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Dried Oregano
  • ½ teaspoons Ground Cumin
  • ½ teaspoons Cayenne Pepper
  • ½ whole Yellow Onion, Minced
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 2 whole Canned Chipotle Chiles In Adobo Sauce, Minced
  • 1 whole (1 1/2 Pound Size) Boneless Pork Loin, Cut Into 2-inch Chunks
  • 16 whole Wonton Wrappers
  • 3 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil
  • ¼ whole Pineapple, Peeled, Cored And Diced
  • FOR THE CREMA:
  • ¼ cups Heavy Cream
  • 2 Tablespoons Sour Cream
  • 1 pinch Kosher Salt
  • ¼ cups Chopped Cilantro Leaves

Preparation

For the tacos:
Whisk together the orange juice, vinegar, chili powder, sugar, salt, oregano, cumin, cayenne pepper, onion, garlic, and chipotle chiles in a shallow baking dish. Add the pork and turn to evenly coat. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight.

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Brush both sides of each wonton wrapper lightly with 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil. Gently press the wrappers into the cups of two standard-size muffin tins (recipe makes 16 so you won’t fill both pans). Bake the wontons for about 6 minutes, until lightly browned around the edges. Remove from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. Gently remove the wonton cups from the pans and let them cool completely on a wire rack.

Heat the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Grill the pineapple chunks for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly caramelized. Transfer pineapple to a small bowl.

Lift the pork from the marinade and add it into the pan. Grill for 4 to 5 minutes per side, until cooked through. Transfer the chunks of pork to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes. Chop the pork into bite-sized pieces.

For the crema:
Whisk together the heavy cream, sour cream, and salt in a small bowl to combine.

To assemble the tacos, divide the pork and pineapple between the wonton cups. Top each taco with a dollop of crema and sprinkle with the cilantro.
