Step 1
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 2
Add pork slices and cook without stirring for 2 minutes until edges crisp, then break up and stir frequently until no pink remains, ~4 minutes total.
Step 3
Stir in achiote paste until coated, then add pineapple chunks and cook 2 minutes until edges char and caramelize.
Step 4
Push pork-pineapple mixture to the side, add onion wedges to the empty space, and sear 2 minutes per side until charred.
Step 5
Warm tortillas directly over a low flame or in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side until pliable.
Step 6
Fill each tortilla with pork-pineapple mixture, top with charred onion, cilantro, and a lime wedge on the side.
