2 cups chopped fresh pineapple (from 1 pineapple)

1/4 cup finely chopped red onion

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1 pound prepared shredded smoked pork

1 ripe medium avocado, diced

1/2 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
-
8 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, shredded (about 2 cups)
-
8 (10-in.) flour tortillas

1/2 cup (4 oz.) salted butter
Directions

Combine pineapple, cilantro, red onion, lime juice, and salt in a medium bowl. Toss pork with 1/2 cup pineapple mixture. Add avocado and bell pepper to remaining pineapple mixture; set aside.
