Marinated Pork

Tacos

Method

Marinated Pork

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine pineapple juice, white vinegar, achiote paste, minced garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the achiote paste is fully dissolved.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Pork

    Cut the pork shoulder into small chunks and add it to the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for the best flavor.

Cooking the Pork

  1. 3

    Cook the Pork

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the pork from the marinade and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pork is well-browned and cooked through.

  2. 4

    Rest the Pork

    Once cooked, remove the pork from the heat and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing it thinly.

Assembling Tacos

  1. 5

    Warm the Tortillas

    Warm the corn tortillas on the grill or in a skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until they are pliable.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Tacos

    Place a portion of the sliced pork on each tortilla. Top with diced pineapple, diced onion, and chopped cilantro.

  3. 7

    Serve

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