Pineapple Pork Tacos

1 chipotle chile plus 2 Tbsp. sauce (from one can chilies in adobo-we used La Costena brand)
3 Tbsp. honey
2 cloves garlic, crushed with press
1/2 small pineapple, peeled and cut into 1/2" thick slices
1 lb (3/4" thick) boneless pork chops
1/2 small white onion, sliced
1/4 c. cilantro leaves, chopped
8 corn tortillas, warmed (we used flour)

Preheat outdoor grill on medium. In blender, puree chili, sauce, honey, garlic, half of pineapple slices, and 1/4 tsp. each salt and pepper. Pour 1/3 c. sauce into pie plate; pour remainder into small bowl for serving. Add pork to sauce in plate; turn to coat and let stand. Grill onion and remaining pineapple 4-6 minutes, until tender, turning. Transfer to cutting board. Grill pork, thinly coated with sauce, 6-8 minutes or until meat just loses its pink color, turning once. Chop onion and pineapple and place in bowl. Stir in cilantro and 1/4 tsp. each salt and pepper. Cut pork into chunks; place in tortillas with pineapple mixture.
