See all
2 dried ancho chiles, stemmed and seeded
½ cup pineapple juice
3 tbsp achiote paste
3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
4 garlic cloves, peeled
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp dried oregano
½ tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp salt

For the pork

2 lbs boneless pork shoulder, sliced ¼-inch thick
Chef's tip
Use the same weight of boneless chicken thighs and cut them as directed. For thin slices, skewers, stir-fries, or frying, cook to 165°F (74°C). For covered braises, cook about 45 minutes; for a slow cooker, use 3 to 4 hours on low.
2 tbsp neutral oil (such as avocado oil or canola oil)
Chef's tip
Avocado oil is neutral and handles high heat, making it a good all-purpose swap.

For serving

12 corn tortillas
1 cup fresh pineapple, cut into small dice
½ white onion, finely diced
½ cup fresh cilantro leaves
2 limes, cut into wedges
salsa verde or hot sauce, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Place the guajillo and ancho chiles in a small saucepan and cover with 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then remove from the heat and let the chiles soak for 10 minutes, until softened and pliable.
2
Drain the chiles and transfer them to a blender. Add the pineapple juice, achiote paste, apple cider vinegar, garlic cloves, cumin, oregano, black pepper, and salt. Blend on high until completely smooth, about 1 minute.
