Cuisine: Mexican
Ingredients: 1 (2-lb.) piece skinless, boneless pork shoulder (Boston butt); 7 guajillo chiles, seeds removed; 3 morita chiles, seeds removed; 4 garlic cloves; ⅓ cup fresh orange juice; ¼ cup fresh lime juice; 3 Tbsp. achiote (annatto) paste; 1 Tbsp. Diamond Crystal or 1½ tsp. Morton kosher salt; 8 (6"-diameter) corn tortillas; 4 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil; 12 oz. quesillo (Oaxaca cheese), coarsely grated; Chopped white onion, coarsely chopped cilantro, and lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions

Thinly slicing the pork and cooking it with plenty of marinade still clinging in a hot skillet yields the charred edges and deep flavor of traditional spit-roasted pastor.
