Steps:
- To marinate the meat: In a blender, combine the achiote paste, chiles, canning sauce, oil and 3/4 cup water. Blend until smooth. Use 1/3 of the marinade to smear over both sides of each piece of meat (refrigerate the rest of the marinade to use on other meat or fish). Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour.
- To cook the meat, you can grill it an high heat or use a grilling pan on the stove. Over high heat, sear the meat for about one minute per side (until you can see brown grill marks) and set aside. Cut into 1/4- to ½ inch pieces or slices and reserve.
- On the same grill, sear the pineapple slices until you see the grill marks. Set aside.
- To build the "gringas": Put some sliced meat on a flour tortilla and pour a handful of shredded cheese over it. Cover with another flour tortilla and warm them on the grill or a pan, over medium heat, for about a minute per side or until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is golden brown. Set aside.
- To serve, cut each piece into half or quarters. Garnish with a few slices of pineapple, chopped cilantro and sour cream. You can always add green or red salsa, and avocado.

Steps:
- The first step is to take shaved pork shoulder and pastor marinade and mix them properly. Ideally the mixture should be allowed to sit overnight, but if in a hurry, then let it rest for at least an hour.
- Now take a large heavy-bottomed skillet or cast-iron pan and heat it over medium-high flame.
- Once the pan is heated, add in ¼ cup of canola oil and pastor meat. Sear the meat. And while the meat is searing, take two other large cast iron pans and heat them.
- Next, take the tortillas and very carefully roll its outer edges in the bowl of canola oil. Start to warm them in one of the two heated cast iron pans. Make sure the tortillas are properly cooked.
- Once done, shift them to a plate. Keep in mind to cover them with a damp, warm paper towel.
- Now, take the other heated cast iron pan and throw in half the onions. Sear them. Add the prepared pastor meat.
- As soon as the onions start to turn brown in colour, add in the chihuahua cheese. Wait until it melts completely.
- Now, take the prepared filling and scoop it inside the tortillas (taking one tortilla per taco).
- Top the prepared taco with Chamoy sauce, Guacamole, onions, cilantro, and pineapple and voila!
