Ingredients
- 8 dried pasilla chiles, seeded and torn to pieces
- 8 dried guajillo chiles, seeded and torn to pieces
- 8 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 teaspoon achiote powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- 5 whole cloves
- 1 cup white vinegar
- salt to taste
- 2 pounds pork tenderloin, thinly sliced
- ½ cup chopped pineapple
- 32 (5 inch) corn tortillas
- 1 small onion, chopped
- ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 4 limes, cut in wedges
Directions
Step 1
Soak pasilla chiles and guajillo chiles in a bowl with hot water until chiles are softened, about 10 minutes; drain. Mash chiles, garlic, achiote powder, cumin, and cloves in a saucepan with a fork.
Step 2
Pour vinegar into sauce pan and bring to a boil; cook and stir until mixture becomes a thick paste. Season with salt. Rub chile paste over sliced pork, stacking meat on a plate. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours to overnight.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook and stir marinated pork and pineapple until pork is browned, 7 to 10 minutes. Divide pork over stacks of two corn tortillas and serve with onion, cilantro, and lime wedges.
Editor’s Note:
You can also make this on the grill. Use pineapple rings or fresh pineapple wedges and chop after grilling. Allow pork to rest 10 minutes after cooking, then thinly slice for tacos.
