Steps

1 hour

1

Boil 8 guajillo chiles and 2 ancho chiles. Once cooked, drain them and blend with 1 garlic clove, salt, 1/4 onion, a pinch of oregano, 3 black peppercorns, 1 cube of achiote paste, a small splash of vinegar, and the juice of 1 orange.
2

Coat the chicken breast well with this marinade and let it marinate for 1 hour in the refrigerator in a container with a lid or covered with plastic wrap.
3

Cook the chicken in a skillet with oil. Once cooked through, remove from the pan.
4

In the same skillet, add a little more oil and cook the pearl onions until golden brown. Remove them, then add diced or sliced pineapple and cook until lightly browned.
5

Serve the chicken, shredded, in warmed tortillas with a little oil or as a quesadilla. Top with pineapple, onion, cilantro, salsa, and guacamole. Add the golden pearl onions. Ready to enjoy!
