Ingredients and Steps

Big text, no distractions — for the stove

Ingredients

  • Pork
  • Dried guajillo chilies
  • Achiote paste
  • Pineapple
  • Onion
  • Cilantro
  • Corn tortillas

Steps

  1. 1Toast dried guajillo chilies briefly in a dry pan, then soak them in hot water until softened.
  2. 2Blend the softened chilies with achiote paste, vinegar, garlic, and spices into a smooth marinade.
  3. 3Slice pork thinly and toss it with the marinade, making sure every piece is well coated, then refrigerate for at least a few hours.
  4. 4Stack the marinated pork slices tightly onto a vertical trompo skewer, placing a piece of pineapple at the top.
  5. 5Roast the stacked meat slowly in front of a heat source, letting the outer layer crisp and caramelize as it turns.
  6. 6Shave off thin, charred slices of pork directly onto small warm corn tortillas as they finish cooking.
  7. 7Top each taco with a small piece of grilled pineapple, chopped onion, and cilantro.
  8. 8Serve immediately with lime wedges and salsa on the side.
