Grilled Pork and Pineapple Tacos

Directions

1. 1
   Place sliced pork on a large rimmed pan.
2. 2
   Brush bothsides of each pork slice very lightly with olive oil and set aside.In a small bowl, whisk together the cumin, ancho chili powder, chipotle chili powder, garlic powder, oregano, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and cloves.
3. 3
   Sprinkle spice mixture evenly onto both sides of each piece of pork, using all of the spice mixture.
4. 4
   Place pineapple spears on a separate rimmed pan, along with the onion slices.
5. 5
   Brush both sides of the onion slices very lightly with olive oil and then sprinkle fairly generously with black pepper and salt.
6. 6
   Heat grill to medium-high heat. Make sure grates are scrubbed clean and then oiled.(To oil the grates, add some canolaoil to a small bowl. Then fold a heavy paper towel a few times to make a smaller square. With a tongs, grasp the folded paper towel and dip it into the oil until the paper towel is drenched. Then run the paper towel over the grates, repeating until all grill grates are thoroughly oiled.)First grill the tortillas, laying them right on the hot grates. It shouldnt take very long to get a nice char. Then flip and grill the second side. Take care to not let the tortillas char too much, or they will get brittle and not be as easy to fold for tacos.
7. 7
   Remove from grill.Oil grates again. Then place pineapple spears onto the hot grates. Grill for 1 to 3 minutes per side, or until charred to your liking. I recommend keeping a thin metal spatula at your side, should any of the spears want to stick. This tool will help you scrape up the pineapple from the grates, preserving that beautiful char. Tongs are also great, for quick flipping.
8. 8
   Remove pineapple from grill. Once they have cooled a bit, chop spears into 1/2 pieces.Oil grates again.
9. 9
   Place onion slices onto the hot grates. Grill for 1 to 3 minutes per side, or until charred to your liking. Again, the thin metal spatula and tongs can be your friends here.
10. 10
    Remove onion slices from grill. Once they have cooled a bit, chop slices into 1/2 pieces.Oil grates again.
11. 11
    Place pork slices onto hot grates. The pork is thin, so wont take long to cook. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until nicely charred andan internal temperature between 145F and 160F is achieved. Do not overcook, or the juicy tenderness will be lost.
12. 12
    Remove pork from grill and let sit for 3 minutes. Then place pork on a cutting board and slice each piece into thin strips.For taco assembly, offer tortillas, pork, pineapple, onion, tomatoes, cilantro, guacamole, and lime wedges to make tacos as you please.
