  • For the achiote marinade: Combine guajillo chile, pineapple, chipotle chile, achiote, pineapple juice, vinegar, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper in a blender and blend until smooth.
  • Place the meat in an oven-proof dish and pour in the achiote marinade. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
  • Cut pineapple in half and using a spoon hollow out one of the halves, reserving the pulp for the sauce. Peel that half and set aside.
  • Cut the other half of the pineapple into small, thin triangles for garnishing your tacos.
  • For the árbol chile salsa: In a skillet over medium heat, fry chiles over low heat with a bit of oil until they change color slightly, taking care not to burn them. Remove and reserve. Fry garlic with allspice, onion, and pineapple pulp.
  • Combine fried ingredients and pineapple juice in a blender, season with salt and pepper, and blend until smooth.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, heat oil and fry meat. Cook for 10 minutes. Set aside.
  • On griddle over medium heat, heat the tortillas.
  • For assembling the al pastor taco platter: Place tortillas on a platter, forming a wreath-like shape. Using a spoon add meat, onion, cilantro, and pineapple triangles. At the center, place half of the pineapple peeled and hollowed out and serve the árbol chile salsa.
