Step 1
Toss sliced red onion with white vinegar and a pinch of salt. Set aside to pickle while you assemble.
Step 2
Warm the shredded pork in a skillet over medium heat with achiote paste, breaking up clumps, until fragrant and heated through, about 4 minutes.
Step 3
Split the bolillo rolls and warm them cut-side down in the same skillet until lightly toasted, about 90 seconds per side.
Step 4
Spread mayo on the inside of each roll, then pile the warm seasoned pork onto the bottom half.
Step 5
Drain the pickled onions and pile them on top of the pork, then close the sandwich.
Step 6
Serve immediately while the pork and bread are still warm.
