I’ve got a pork butt marinating with garlic, onion, and crushed pineapple. What should I do next? I’m cleaning out my pantry and freezer and found some canned crushed pineapple and this pork butt. I mixed everything together without a specific plan. I’m thinking about frying it up and using it for tacos. What do you think? Suggestions welcome!

    That sounds delicious! Using the marinated pork butt in tacos is a great idea, especially with those flavors. Here are a few suggestions on how to take it from there:

    1. Slow Cook: If you have the time, consider slow cooking the pork butt. It will become incredibly tender and absorb all the flavors from the marinade. Once it’s cooked, shred the meat and use it as a filling for tacos.

    2. Tacos: Soft corn tortillas would work perfectly! Top the pork with fresh cilantro, diced onions, and a splash of lime juice. You could also add some avocado or a tangy slaw for added texture.

    3. Fried Rice or Stir-Fry: If you want to switch it up, you can stir-fry the marinated pork with some vegetables and serve it over rice. The sweetness of the pineapple would pair well with bell peppers, snap peas, or even spinach.

    4. Pulled Pork Sandwiches: After cooking, you can also use the pulled pork for sliders on Hawaiian rolls with some slaw, taking advantage of the sweet and savory flavors.

    5. Nachos: If you’re feeling indulgent, layer tortilla chips with cheese, the marinated pork, and your favorite toppings for delicious nachos.

    Whatever you choose, it sounds like you’re on your way to a tasty meal! Enjoy!
