Instructions
Place the pork in a large bowl. Add the marinade ingredients and toss to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge overnight.
Heat a barbecue or chargrill over medium-high heat. Cut the pork into thin strips, about the thickness of a minute steak, and cook for 1 minute per side.
Meanwhile, to make the pineapple salsa, combine the pineapple, capsicum, chilli and coriander. Whisk remaining ingredients and pour over the salsa, tossing to coat.
Once the pork is cooked, shred with a fork and serve with warm corn tortillas, queso fresco, and pineapple salsa.
