Ingredients
- 3 pound pork shoulder boneless
- 2 cups pineapple divided, diced
- 2 onion one quartered and one diced, medium
- 6 ounces dried chili such as guajillo, mulato, ancho, arbol, etc
- ¼ cup lime juice (about 1 big lime)
- 2 ounces achiote paste red
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon oregano dried
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- corn tortillas (cilantro, minced onion, diced pineapple, lime wedges – to serve)
Instructions
- Place pork shoulder in a slow cooker and top with 1 cup of the diced pineapple and the diced onion; set aside.
- Remove seeds and stems from dried chilis and place in a large bowl. Cover with boiling water and let steep to soften, about 15 minutes.
- Place softened chilis along with 1 cup of the reserved steeping liquid in a large food processor. Add the remaining 1 cup diced pineapple, quartered onion, lime juice, achiote paste, vinegar, garlic, cumin, oregano, salt and pepper. Puree on high for 60 seconds.
- Drain mixture over a fine mesh strainer placed directly on top of the pork shoulder in the slow cooker insert. Use a rubber spatula to press out all of the liquid and discard what’s left in the strainer.
- Cook pork on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours.
- To serve, shred pork with two forks discarding any large pieces of fat. Serve in warmed corn tortillas with cilantro, minced onion, minced pineapple and any other toppings of choice.
