Step 1
Toast dried chiles in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1 minute per side until fragrant. Transfer to a bowl.
Step 2
Pour 1/2 cup hot water over chiles. Let sit 5 minutes, then blend with garlic, vinegar, cumin, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Step 3
Toss pork slices with chile marinade in a bowl. Set aside for 10 minutes while you prep the pineapple.
Step 4
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Working in batches, sear pork without stirring for 2 minutes per side until edges brown.
Step 5
Push pork to the side of the skillet. Add pineapple chunks to the empty space and let them caramelize for 3 minutes without stirring.
Step 6
Toss pineapple with pork and stir occasionally for 2 more minutes until pineapple edges curl and caramelize.
Step 7
Warm tortillas in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side until pliable. Fill with pork-pineapple mixture, cilantro, and a lime squeeze.
