Ingredients

  • 800 g of pork (boneless loin) in thin fillets
  • 3 guajillo chiles, seeded
  • 2 ancho chiles, seeded
  • 50 g of achiote paste
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1/4 white onion
  • 60 g of pineapple juice
  • 30 g of white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon of cumin
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 200 g of fresh pineapple in cubes
  • Chopped cilantro and chopped onion to serve
  • Corn tortillas

Step-by-step

Choose your robot:
  1. Rehydrate the guajillo and ancho chiles in hot water for 10 minutes; drain them.
  2. Put the chiles, garlic, onion, achiote, pineapple juice, vinegar, oregano, cumin and salt in the mixing bowl. Blend 1 min/speed 8 until you get a smooth marinade.
  3. Pour the marinade over the pork fillets and let it rest refrigerated for at least 2 hours.
  4. Clean the mixing bowl. Place the marinated meat spread out in the Varoma dish and the pineapple on top.
  5. Put 700 g of water in the mixing bowl and program 30 min/Varoma/speed 1 with the Varoma in place.
  6. Remove the meat, chop it finely and sear it in a hot pan for 4 minutes to seal it.
  7. Heat the tortillas and assemble the tacos with the meat, pineapple, cilantro and onion.
  8. Serve with green or red salsa to taste.

Tips

  • If you have a griddle, brown the meat well for the crispy touch typical of the trompo.
  • Pineapple juice helps tenderize the meat; do not marinate it longer than 12 hours.
  • Serve with lime and a spicy salsa.
