Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Pork Marinade:
    • In a bowl, add the pork shoulder and season with Goya seasoning, salt, and white pepper.
    • In a blender, combine the achiote paste, garlic powder, onion powder, Mexican oregano, cinnamon, and water (or orange juice). Blend well.
    • Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it's thoroughly coated.
    • Cover and marinate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, in the refrigerator.
  2. Prepare the Skewers:
    • Cut the fresh pineapple and onion into one-inch pieces, ensuring they are slightly thick for skewering.
    • Wet the skewers to prevent burning.
    • Assemble the trompitos by alternating between pieces of pork, pineapple, and onion on the skewers. Place a piece of pineapple at each end.
  3. Cook the Trompitos:
    • Preheat your broiler and lightly grease a sheet pan with cooking oil.
    • Arrange the skewers on the sheet pan and place under the broiler for 15 minutes.
    • Remove from the oven, brush with any leftover marinade, and return to the broiler.
    • Broil for an additional 20-30 minutes, until the pork is cooked and edges are slightly charred.
  4. Make the Pineapple Habanero Salsa:
    • Combine habanero peppers, garlic cloves, onion, Roma tomatoes, diced fresh pineapple, and Arbol peppers in a pot.
    • Add water and season with salt to taste.
    • Bring to a boil and cook for 15 minutes.
    • Let the mixture cool, then blend until smooth.
  5. Assemble the Tacos:
    • Warm the corn tortillas.
    • Remove the trompitos from the skewers and place in the tortillas.
    • Top with chopped cilantro, chopped onion, and a squeeze of lime.
    • Drizzle with Pineapple Habanero Salsa before serving.

Cooking Tips:

  • If using wooden skewers, soak in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  • Experiment with additional toppings like avocado or cheese for extra flavor.
