Cooking Directions

1. Prepare the Marinade

In a blender, combine guajillo chiles, ancho chiles, garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, black pepper, apple cider vinegar, orange juice, and brown sugar. Blend until smooth.

2. Marinate the Pork

Cut the pork shoulder into large chunks and place in a bowl. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring all pieces are coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.

3. Cook the Pork

Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat. Remove the pork from the marinade and shake off excess. Grill or roast until cooked through and tender, about 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally.

4. Prepare the Pineapple

While the pork is cooking, slice the pineapple into rings and grill for 3-4 minutes on each side until caramelized.

5. Assemble the Tacos

Once the pork is cooked, chop it into small pieces. Serve on warm corn tortillas topped with grilled pineapple, chopped white onion, and fresh cilantro.
