Marinade

Method

Marinade Preparation

1

Prepare the Chiles

Remove the stems and seeds from the dried guajillo and ancho chiles. Soak them in hot water for about 15 minutes until softened.

2

Make the Marinade

In a blender, combine the softened chiles, pineapple juice, garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, black pepper, and white vinegar. Blend until smooth.

3

Marinate the Pork

In a large bowl, combine the sliced pork shoulder with the marinade. Mix well to ensure the pork is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

Cooking

4

Cook the Pork

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the pork from the marinade, letting excess marinade drip off. Grill or cook the pork slices for about 4-5 minutes on each side until nicely charred and cooked through.

5

Prepare Tacos

Warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 1 minute on each side. Assemble the tacos by placing the cooked pork on the tortillas and adding pineapple, cilantro, and onion on top.

6

Serve

Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
