Cooking Steps
Finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press). Reserve 1 tbs of juice from the pineapple slices, then drain and finely chop. Finely chop the cucumber. Shred the cos lettuce.
Slice the pork loin steaks into 0.5cm strips. In a medium bowl, combine the pork, garlic, mild Caribbean jerk seasoning and the salt. Season with a pinch of pepper and add a good drizzle of olive oil. Toss to coat and set aside.
Add the chopped pineapple and cucumber to a small bowl. Add the vinegar and sugar and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and mix well. Set aside.
In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a high heat. When the oil is hot, add 1/2 the pork strips to the pan and cook, tossing, until golden, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining pork.
TIP: Cooking the pork in batches over a high heat helps keep it tender.
Heat the mini flour tortillas in a sandwich press or on a plate in the microwave for 10 second bursts, until warmed through. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and reserved pineapple juice.
Bring everything to the table to serve. Top the tortillas with some cos lettuce, smokey pork and charred pineapple and cucumber salsa. Drizzle over the pineapple mayo.
TIP: Serve the kids' salsa on the side if they prefer!
