Directions

Marinate the pork: In a bowl, mix BBQ sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, paprika, allspice, salt, and pepper. Add pork, toss to coat, and marinate at least 30 minutes (or overnight for deeper flavor).

Make the slaw: Combine mango, pineapple, cabbage, and carrots. Toss with lime juice, honey/agave, chili flakes, and salt. Chill until ready to use.

Cook the pork: Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook pork in batches until nicely browned and cooked through (about 2–3 minutes per side). Don’t overcrowd the pan.

Assemble tacos: Warm tortillas. Fill with pork and top generously with mango-pineapple slaw. Add any extra toppings you like.

Serve: Plate with lime wedges and enjoy with a cold drink 🍹 — preferably on a sunny day!
