Step 1
Pat pork dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt, pepper, and cumin.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Arrange pork skin-side down and cook 8 minutes without moving until skin crisps and browns.
Step 3
Flip pork. Cook 5 more minutes until meat is tender and edges look caramelized.
Step 4
Push pork to the side. Add ají amarillo paste to the empty space and stir into rendered fat for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5
Toss pork with the paste. Squeeze juice from 1 lime over the top and stir to coat.
Step 6
Serve hot over raw red onion and fresh cilantro. Cut remaining lime into wedges.
