Method

Marinating the Pork

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    Remove the stems and seeds from the guajillo and ancho chiles. Toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Blend the chiles with pineapple juice, garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, black pepper, and white vinegar until smooth.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Pork

    Cut the pork shoulder into small pieces and place it in a large bowl. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

Cooking the Pork

  1. 3

    Cook the Pork

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the pork from the marinade, shaking off excess. Grill the pork for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and slightly caramelized. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Making Pineapple Salsa

  1. 4

    Prepare the Salsa

    In a bowl, combine diced pineapple, finely chopped red onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix well and set aside to let the flavors meld.

Assembling the Tacos

  1. 5

    Assemble the Tacos

    Warm the corn tortillas on a skillet or grill. Place sliced pork on each tortilla, top with pineapple salsa, and garnish with sliced radishes. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
