Step 1
Shred the pork if not already shredded. Warm it gently in a bowl or skillet with a splash of water until heated through, ~3 minutes.
Step 2
Lay a flour tortilla flat. Spread a small handful of cheese on half, then top with a spoonful of warm pork and diced pineapple.
Step 3
Fold the tortilla in half to form a half-moon. Press gently so the cheese holds everything together.
Step 4
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Slide the gringa in and cook until the bottom is golden and crispy, ~2 minutes.
Step 5
Flip and cook the other side until cheese melts and the tortilla is crispy and golden, ~2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Step 6
Repeat with remaining tortillas. Serve hot with salsa roja, fresh cilantro, and lime wedges on the side.
