- * Note: Dry chiles and achiote condimentada* (seasoned achiote paste) are available in well-stocked supermarkets and at Latino markets.
- Combine 5 c. of water, the California, ancho, guajillo and cascabel chiles, the chile de arbol and the bay leaf in a large pot and bring to a boil. Boil for 5 min. Remove from heat and let stand till softened, about 5 min. Drain the chiles, throw away the bay leaf and remove and throw away the stems and seeds of the chiles.
- Place the softened chiles in a food processor with the orange and pineapple juices, vinegar, cinnamon, sea salt, garlic, salt, pepper, garlic salt, oregano, achiote paste and half the onion. Puree till smooth.
- Pour the marinade into a large resealable plastic bag, add in the meat and toss to coat. Chill 24 hrs.
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Place half the pineapple in an even layer in the bottom of a roasting pan. Place the pork on top, followed by the remaining pineapple and the remaining sliced onion. Cover with foil and roast till meat breaks apart with a fork, about 2 to 2 1/2 hrs. Remove the meat from the pan, throw away the pineapple and set aside the pan juices.
- Put the meat on a rack in a baking pan, baste it with the pan juices and place under the broiler to crisp the edges of the meat, about 3 min. Turn and cook for a few more min.
- Remove the meat from the oven and let stand till cold sufficient to handle, then, with a fork, shred and pull it apart and place on a serving platter. Spoon pan juices over to moisten. Serve with corn tortillas and condiments, allowing everyone to make their own tacos.
