Salsa:
  • 2  cups  minced pineapple
  • 1  cup  minced apple
  • 1/4  cup  minced shallots
  • 2  tablespoons  chopped cilantro
  • 1  tablespoon  fresh lime juice
  • 1/2  teaspoon  ground cumin
  • 1/4  teaspoon  salt


Tacos:
  • 1  tablespoon  canola oil
  • 1  cup  thinly sliced yellow onion
  • 2  garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 1/2  pounds  pork tenderloin, cut lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise
  • 1/2  cup  fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
  • 1  tablespoon  cider vinegar
  • 1  teaspoon  dried oregano
  • 1  teaspoon  ground cumin
  • 1/2  teaspoon  salt
  • 1/2  teaspoon  freshly ground black pepper
  • 12  cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • 2  chipotle chiles, canned in adobo sauce, chopped (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 12  (6-inch) corn tortillas, warmed



To prepare salsa, combine the first 7 ingredients in a medium bowl; stir until well blended. Cover and chill.

To prepare tacos, heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion to pan; cook 2 minutes or until tender. Add garlic; cook 30 seconds. Add pork to pan; cook 4 minutes or until pork loses its pink color, stirring occasionally. Stir in broth and next 7 ingredients (through chipotles). Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes. Uncover and simmer 10 minutes or until liquid is nearly evaporated. Warm tortillas according to package directions. Serve pork mixture with tortillas and salsa.
