Marinate the Pork
Place the thinly sliced pork shoulder in a large bowl or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Cooking and Assembly

Grill the Pork
Remove the marinated pork from the refrigerator. Preheat a grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the pork slices for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and slightly charred.

Prepare the Tortillas
While the pork is grilling, warm the corn tortillas on a skillet over low heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

Assemble the Tacos
Once the pork is cooked, chop it into small pieces. Place a generous amount of pork on each tortilla, and top with fresh cilantro, chopped onion, and diced pineapple. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
