Juicy pork, zesty pineapple guacamole, black beans, cheddar, and fresh pico – these Pork Tacos with Pineapple Guacamole bring ALL the flavor and zero boring bites.

We’re just a few days from Cinco de Mayo! Sooo…I’ve made some new tacos for you.

Pork tacos.

With pineapple guacamole.

Lean seasoned pork on a grilled flour tortilla with black beans, white cheddar, homemade pico de gallo, shredded green leaf lettuce, pineapple guacamole and sour cream. I love pork tenderloin because it’s lean, flavorful, and can be quickly made in so many main dishes.

These are really so, so good. It’s always a really good thing when you can pull from your recipe arsenal to be inspired to make something new.

There are tacos, and then there are TACOS – the kind that make you rethink ever settling for drive-thru again. These Pork Tacos with Pineapple Guacamole are stacked with everything you actually want in a taco: tender seasoned pork, creamy black beans, sharp white cheddar, a little crunch from green leaf lettuce, and a juicy homemade pico de gallo situation.

Then there’s the pineapple guacamole. It’s fresh, tangy, and just sweet enough to make everything pop. (If you’ve never had pineapple in guac, prepare to question every life choice that led you here.)

You can grill or pan-sear the tortillas for that perfect golden edge (I like it because it gives them a smoky, crunchy texture), load them up, drizzle a little sour cream on top, and boom – dinner just became a party. These work beautifully for weeknights, taco bars, or pretending it’s summer even when it’s not.

Pro tip: Use leftover pulled pork or carnitas if you’ve got them; no judgment, just flavor efficiency.

I also chose to go with sharp white cheese because I’m a tiny bit obsessed with Cabot’s White Oak Cheddar; it just makes everything taste amazing.

It’s so sharp, and I think it compliments the spicy pico and pork perfectly.

🍽️ What to Serve with Pork Tacos with Pineapple Guacamole

If you’re building a full-on taco night spread (and you should), here are a few sides and sips that make these pork tacos shine:

Mexican Street Corn (Elote): Charred corn, a swipe of mayo, cotija, chili powder, and lime – it’s messy in the best way.
Cilantro Lime Rice: Fresh, zesty, and perfect for soaking up any extra guac or pico.
Simple Black Bean Salad: A quick toss of black beans, corn, red onion, and lime juice gives you color and crunch without stealing the show.
Margaritas or Kiwi Martinis: Because hydration is important.
Churros or Tres Leches Cake: If you’re gonna go for it, go all in.

This taco recipe already brings the sweet, savory, and spicy — all you need are a few sides to make it a full-on fiesta.

See how the tortilla edges are all nice and brown and crispy??
