TO MAKE TROPICAL FRUT SALSA:
Combine tomato, pineapple, onion, jalapeno, garlic, lime juice and salt in small bowl.

Cover and refrigerate 1 to 2 hours to blend flavors.

TO MAKE SPICY PORK FILLING:
Place pork in 2-3 quart saucepan. Cover and cook over medium heat to draw out juices, about 10 minutes.

Uncover and cook on high heat until liquid evaporates and meat browns well in drippings, stirring often.

Add broth, stirring well. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until meat is tender, about 1 hour.

Increase heat to high, cook, stirring, until liquid evaporates.

Reduce heat to low. Stir in jalapeno, garlic, oregano, cumin and black pepper; cook, stirring, 1-2 minutes.

Remove from heat, stir in vinegar.

Shred pork with 2 forks, or let cool and pull apart with fingers. Stir in cilantro.

TO MAKE CHIMICHANGAS:
Brush both sides of each tortilla with corn oil. Spoon filling equally into center of tortillas. Fold in ends of each tortilla, fold sides to center, overlapping slightly. Place seam-side down in shallow baking pan sprayed with cooking spray.

Bake at 500F, 4 minutes.

Top each with cheese. Bake another 4-5 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serve immediately with Tropical Salsa, avocado and sour cream.
