Can someone please invite me on a long trip to Hawaii?
Like pretty, pretty pleaseeee?
I’ll do all the cooking and cleaning for a free room and a kitchen to use. Deal? Someone say YES.
For the record,  I do realize that these are not technically fajitas since fajitas are filled with grilled meat, but for some reason in my mind a fajita is a soft shell taco that always, always is filled with rice too. Not rice on the side, but rice IN the fajita. It’s just something I have always done.
So I am making my own fajita rules and if you have a problem with that than you are so missing out. Don’t be so set in your ways, just get on board with it.
These are actually the second time I have made these and both were within in the same week. The first time I used a pork tenderloin and it was so delicious, but I hated the photos, so it had to be made again. For the second time I had more mouths to feed. Like five extra at the table.
The house is once again a haven for teenagers. Friends galore. The small little kids do leave at night, but the big ones. They stay, they eat and they make noise. It’s fine cause I actually like these kids and they seem to eat whatever, so it’s working out ok. I guess. Or not.
Or really, I am just trying to be positive. Positive thoughts = happy, quietness? I wish.
But I gotta say, when you are feeding kids that are training for things that will eventually take them to the 2018 Olympics they kind of eat a ton of food. Yeah, it’s a lot.
Oh, and I have to say that those little kids around here, they also love to eat. Particularly french toast with coconut whipped cream and fresh blueberries. Can you blame them though? I mean that’s good stuff. Especially the blueberries and coconut whipped cream. Asher and her two friends were pretty cute, pictures to follow.
Anyway, the pork. The second time around I made a pork shoulder roast. I mean, I thought the first dish was good, but the second? Out of this world. So freaking good. The perfect meal. Everyone ate it. YES.YES. YES. I love when that happens.
The sauce soaks into the moist pork that cooks all day in either the oven or slow cooker and it is so good. Everyone, yes boys included, loved this. And if you are not into the fajita part just serve the pork over the coconut rice with the pineapple slaw. But don’t skip the pineapple slaw.
Gosh, the pineapple slaw I was eating it like a salad. With a spoon, right into my mouth. My favorite.
Also, sorry about all the non-heavy, no-wintery foods lately. I am just not feeling it.
I want color! Bright, bright, delicious, fruity color. Bring on spring.

I made this for dinner tonight. It was delicious! Just want to stop and thank you for an amazingly wonderful recipe!
Excellent recipe ! Great combination of flavors in each bite. Don’t change a thing. A great change from regular ‘fajitas’.
Recipe on!

This recipe is fantastic ! A great change from regular ‘fajitas’. The combination of flavors is a great!! Keep up the great work ! Recipe on !
TP
I’ve made these 3 times and have had mixed results. The first time I used a pork shoulder, and while the flavor was excellent, the pork broke down and was complete mush. The second time I used a loin and it was DELICIOUS!! It held up great. The third time (tonight) I used a shoulder again at my husbands request, and I cooked it for a little less time, and initially it shredded fine, but turned to mush in my mouth. Am I doing something wrong? Lol
Wonderful recipe though. The flavors make me yearn for summer cookouts. The coleslaw is my favorite! Thank you!
These are truly Yumm-O ! Will be making for the 2015 Super Bowl ! The combinations are right on spot. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!! Hope they are a Super Bowl hit!1
This turned out wonderfully! I drained the pork after cooking in the crockpot & added it to the second half of the “sauce”. This took a little bit to prepare but it is worth a Sunday meal or a meal that can be served to guests 🙂 Good job on putting this together.
Great recipe, trailed it last night for a party I’m having and it taste great! just a question, some people who will be eating it don’t like pork so i was thinking of doing both a pork and a slow cooked beef (cooked separately but using the same marinade and use the same toppings etc), do you think this flavour would suit beef also?? thanks
pardon me if you’ve mentioned this elsewhere, i am new to this blog (thanks to this recipe!). who makes that chartreuse bowl your pineapple slaw is in? NEED THAT. ;]
Got it at Target
I made this tonight and it was amazing.. Wouldn’t change a thing! Even my husband was impressed. I made extra coconut rice because I’m a coconut fanatic and will eat some later warmed with a little milk and honey. Thank you for the recipe! This is on my list of favorites now 🙂
SO HAPPY YOU LOVED THESE! Thanks! 🙂
I made this recipe for a picnic style at our church. It was fabulous. In fact, my husband has requested that I make it again this weekend. Thank you for the recipe!
YA!! So happy you loved this!!
Thanks Jen!
Going to make this on the 4th of July with wild boar my father in law is hunting for. I may put it on a smoker though, any thoughts? Also my wife is a vegetarian, she would love the slaw, but any grilled veggie recommendations that would go good with this. Zucchini, eggplant, mushrooms? Or perhaps just grilled pineapple? Thanks!
Hey David! I have never used a smoker, but i think that sounds amazing! I would just marinate the pork in the cooking liquids and then brush the marinade over the boar while it is cooking. For your wife, I would stuff the tortillas wit rice or quinoa and then fill them up with pepper, zucchini and the slaw.
Hope you guys love these!
These look delicious! When you make the pineapple slaw, did you use plain Greek yogurt (or what flavour)? Just want to make sure I’m making it right! I can’t wait! Thanks
Hey Megan, I always use plain greek yogurt.
Hope you love this! Thanks!
These look fabulous! I’m drooling already! I want to make them in the next few days, but I have one question about an ingredient… Do you mean fresh or dried ginger? Cheers!
Thanks so much! I use fresh ginger, but I think subbing 1/4 teaspoon or so of dried would work too. Hope you love these!!!
I am new to your site.. but all I can say is.. thank you for posting such an AMAZING recipe.
I lived on Maui for two years… and I never ate anything THIS amazing.
I made this last night (sans the tortillas) and it was so flavorful and spicy in all the right ways.. my husband even instagrammed a photo of it (that is huge).
needless to say.. I am no a loyal follower of yours. 🙂
thank you for the amazing recipe!
Aww!! THANK YOU!! That means a lot!! So happy you loved these! :_
Made these last night and YUM! I skipped the rice cause I just ran out of steam, but I bet that’d be yummo too! Loved the pineapple slaw as I’ve never seen it before! Felt like I was eating at a fancy bistro!
So happy you loved it!!
