1
Prepare the Marinade
In a bowl, combine the ancho chili powder, guajillo chili powder, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, apple cider vinegar, salt, black pepper, and sugar. Mix well.
2
Marinate the Pork
Place the sliced pork shoulder in a large resealable bag or bowl and pour the marinade over it. Make sure the pork is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
3
Cook the Pork
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the pork from the marinade and cook until well browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes per side. If using a grill, you can add the chopped pineapple during the last few minutes of cooking.
4
Assemble the Tacos
Warm the corn tortillas on the grill or in a skillet. Slice the cooked pork into small pieces and place it on the tortillas. Top with chopped onion, cilantro, and pineapple. Serve with lime wedges.
