Instructions
- Start by searing de-seeded chilies, bay leaves, and onions in oil. Then add white vinegar and simmer until the chilies are soft.
- Next add chilis, bay leaf, and onion into a blender along with oil, lime, pineapple juice, spices, garlic, and achiote oil. Blend until smooth.
- Thinly slice the steak and saturate it fully with marinade. Marinate for up to 6 hours or overnight.
- Firstly, place one or two slices of pineapple on a baking sheet. Then, take a wooden skewer and insert it right in the center of the pineapple. Remove the pork from the refrigerator and slide the slices through the skewer, layering them one after the other, until there is a 1-inch gap at the top. Lastly, add another pineapple slice on top.
- Cook at 300 degrees for 2-3 hours, basting with the juices every hour.
- Once the meat is tender, remove it from the skewer and sauté it in a hot pan with diced pineapple and sliced meat. Add in Mozzarella cheese.
- Serve with your favorite toppings, enjoy.
