Grill the pork cubes for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are nicely charred and cooked through

Once the pork is done, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing or shredding it

To assemble your tacos, place a generous portion of the grilled pork on each warm tortilla
