Directions
-
Begin your tremendous flavor journey by preparing the marinade. In a blender, combine the pineapple juice, pineapple chunks, achiote paste, garlic, cumin, oregano, orange juice, vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Puree this mixture until smooth and velvety.
-
Next, take the sliced pork and place it in a large zip-top bag or glass dish. Pour the lovely marinade over the pork, ensuring that you massage it into every crevice. This step is crucial for a tremendous depth of flavor. Allow the meat to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, although for the best results, aim for 4 to 6 hours to let the flavors meld beautifully.
-
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, or if you prefer, you can heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill or skillet to prevent any sticking during the cooking process.
-
While the grill is heating, thread some fresh pineapple slices onto skewers or simply place them directly on the grill. Cook until they are beautifully charred, then chop them into smaller pieces for assembly.
-
Now, it’s time to focus on the pork. Grill or sear the marinated pork slices until they achieve a tremendous level of crispiness on the edges and just cooked through the center. Once cooked, allow the meat to rest for a few minutes before chopping it into strips.
-
Take your tortillas and heat them on the grill or in a skillet until they are pliable and slightly charred. This step adds a nice layer of flavor and makes them easier to wrap around the filling.
-
To assemble, layer the tender pork onto the warmed tortillas. Top each tortilla with grilled pineapple, diced onion, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges for an extra zesty kick and additional salsa or crema if desired.
