3. 25 minutes before serving, thinly slice the remaining onion. In a medium bowl, toss the onion, jalapeņo, lime juice, remaining pineapple and 1/4 tsp each salt and pepper. Fold in the avocado and cilantro.
4. Using two forks, shred the meat, then stir it into the cooking liquid. Fill the tortillas with the beef mixture and top with pineapple salsa.
