Ingredients
- 6 oz Pork shoulder
- 1/2 cup Pineapple
- 3 Corn tortillas
- 1 tbsp Achiote paste
- 1/4 Onion
- 2 tbsp Cilantro
Steps
- Slice the pork shoulder as thin as you can — partially freezing it for 20 minutes makes this much easier.
- Toss with the achiote paste, half the pineapple juice, and 1 teaspoon salt; marinate 20 minutes.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over high heat until smoking.
- Sear the pork in a single layer 2–3 minutes per side until the edges char and crisp.
- Sear the pineapple chunks in the same pan until caramelized.
- Warm the tortillas.
- Pile pork and pineapple onto tortillas; top with diced onion and cilantro.
