## Instructions

1. Begin by cooking the chiles for the adobo sauce. To a small saucepan, add eight New Mexico chile pods (cleaned), one large chile ancho, five chile de árbol, and 1/4 of an onion.
2. Cover the chiles with water, place over high heat, and bring them to a boil.
3. Once the chiles come to a boil, transfer them to a blender cup along with the onion and half a cup of water.
4. To the blender cup, also add four allspice berries, four whole cloves, a little piece of ginger, four garlic cloves, salt, black pepper, ground cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, and oregano.
5. Add two tablespoons of vinegar, half a cup of pineapple juice, half a cup of freshly squeezed orange juice, and 50 grams of achiote.
6. Blend until smooth to create the adobo sauce.
7. Set the adobo sauce aside.
8. Prepare the meat using three and a half pounds of pork loin chops. Slice each pork chop in half and open it.
9. Using a Ziploc bag, pound the pork chop until it is nice and thin.
10. Cut the pounded meat into small squares.
11. Transfer the meat squares to a Ziploc bag.
12. Pour the marinade (adobo sauce) over the meat, ensuring it's nicely coated.
13. Allow the meat to marinate for at least eight hours.
14. Once marinated, prepare the skewers. Insert a piece of pineapple onto a metal skewer.
15. Stack the marinated meat onto the skewer.
16. Once you reach the top, add another piece of pineapple and repeat the process with all skewers.
17. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, or until fully cooked.
18. Flip the skewers every two minutes while cooking.
