Mix the water and salt, then gradually add the corn flour and half of the shredded cheese using a fork. Knead until the dough is smooth and manageable. Let rest for about 20 minutes, then form into golf ball-sized balls.

If you don't have a tortilla press, use a cutting board or a heavy skillet. Heat a griddle and cook each tortilla for a few minutes on both sides, adding a little cheese as they cook.

Place the tortillas on a griddle and cook for a few minutes. When you flip them and they're cooked on both sides, add the cheese.

Blend the garlic, cumin, oregano, cloves, allspice, salt, achiote paste, orange juice, and vinegar to taste. Once the marinade is ready, coat each pork cutlet with it, layering them until all the meat is covered. Let marinate for at least 4 hours.

Add the pineapple slices. For best flavor, marinate the meat overnight. Cook the marinated pork on a skillet or grill, as you prefer. Serve in tacos, burritos, quesadillas, or sandwich rolls. Serve with avocado, spicy salsa, onion, cilantro, and limes.

Once the meat is marinated, grill it on a griddle. I cut the meat before marinating, but you can also grill the whole pieces.

Place some meat on each tortilla, top with onion, avocado, cilantro, limes, and salsa. Cover with another tortilla and enjoy.
