Step 1
Toast dried chiles in a dry skillet 30 seconds per side until fragrant. Add vinegar and 3 tbsp water, soak chiles 2 minutes, then blend until smooth.
Step 2
Toss pork slices with the chile-vinegar paste in a bowl to coat evenly.
Step 3
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Working in batches, sear pork 2 minutes per side without stirring — edges should crisp and brown.
Step 4
Push pork to the side. Add onion rings to the empty space, season with salt and pepper. Sear 2 minutes per side until charred and soft.
Step 5
Scatter pineapple chunks into the skillet. Toss everything together for 1 minute until pineapple edges caramelize slightly.
Step 6
Warm tortillas 30 seconds per side over the flame or in a dry skillet. Fill each with pork, onion, pineapple, salsa, and a squeeze of lime.
