- Grill the pineapple chunks for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly caramelized.
- Transfer pineapple to a small bowl.
- Lift the pork from the marinade and add it into the pan.
- Grill for 4 to 5 minutes per side, until cooked through.
- Transfer the chunks of pork to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes.
- Chop the pork into bite-sized pieces.
- For the crema: Whisk together the heavy cream, sour cream, and salt in a small bowl to combine.
- To assemble the tacos, divide the pork and pineapple between the wonton cups.
- Top each taco with a dollop of crema and sprinkle with the cilantro.
