- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb pork shoulder thinly sliced
- 1 cup pineapple chunks fresh or canned
- 3 tbsp al pastor seasoning or taco seasoning
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lime juice
Instructions
- Pat the pork slices dry and toss them in a bowl with olive oil, al pastor seasoning, and lime juice until evenly coated.
- Add pineapple chunks to the bowl and mix gently so the fruit infuses the pork with natural sweetness.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F for 3 minutes to ensure those crispy edges develop quickly.
- Arrange the pork in a single layer in the air fryer basket, avoiding overlap for even cooking and browning.
- Air fry for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until pork is caramelized and reaches 145°F internal temp.
- Let the pork rest for 2 minutes before serving to keep it juicy, then pile into tortillas or serve over rice.
