Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the achiote paste, pineapple juice, minced garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.

3. Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
4. Remove the marinated pork from the refrigerator and thread onto skewers. Discard any excess marinade.

7. Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the skewers and chop into small pieces.
8. To assemble the tacos, place a spoonful of the chopped pork onto each warm tortilla.
9. Top with diced fresh pineapple, chopped cilantro, and diced onion.
10. Serve the tacos al pastor with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
