Instructions:
Start off by making the marinade. In a blender, add all the ingredients for the marinade and blend until smooth.
-Next, slice the pork shoulder to 1/4 inch thick slices. Add the pork to a pan and coat it really well with the marinade.
-Then, place in refrigerator for 2 hours to marinade. While it’s marinating make the salsa.
-In a blender, add all the ingredients for the salsa and blend until smooth. After 2 hours take out the pork and preheat your grill or smoker to 350 degrees.
-Place the pork stacked on some long skewers. First, place a pineapple then the pork comes next. I used the trompo king. Place on the grill for 1.5 hours. Remove the pork and start to slice the crispy parts for tacos.
-Place back on the grill and continue the process until all the pork is cooked all the way through. Garnish with cilantro, onion and top off with that salsa.
