Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground pork

  • 1 tablespoon soy-based liquid seasoning (such as Maggi® Jugo)

  • ½ teaspoon chipotle powder

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Pineapple Salsa:

  • 1 cup diced fresh pineapple

  • ¼ cup minced red onion

  • 1 small jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced

  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro

  • ½ lime, juiced

  • salt to taste

  • 8 (6 inch) corn tortillas

Directions

  1. Combine ground pork, liquid seasoning, ground chipotle powder, and garlic in a bowl. Set aside for flavors to meld.

  2. Combine pineapple, red onion, jalapeno, cilantro, lime juice, and salt in a bowl. Set pineapple salsa aside.

  3. Preheat a large skillet over high heat. Crumble ground pork into the hot skillet. Cook and stir until pork is completely browned and edges begin to crisp, 7 to 10 minutes. Drain any excess grease. Place pork in a bowl and keep warm. Wipe out skillet.

  4. Warm tortillas in skillet over medium-low heat, about 20 seconds per side. Divide meat mixture between tortillas and top with pineapple salsa

Cook's Note:

Jugo Maggi seasoning is the Mexican version of regular Maggi seasoning, and can be found in the International aisle of your supermarket. It lends a deep umami flavor to the meat. If you cannot find either, you can combine equal parts soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce.

Not only is this apple and onion smothered beef brisket easy and delicious, it's also very fast (for a brisket recipe)! Cooking it low and slow often results in dried-out meat, so instead we dial up the temperature slightly and bake it in about half the time to ensure it's both tender and moist.
