  3. 3

    Marinate the thinly sliced pork for at least 30 minutes.

  4. 4

    Thread the meat tightly onto a skewer or, if you have a rotisserie in your oven, use that. If not, you can use a wooden skewer stuck into half a pineapple to hold the meat upright.

  5. 5

    Bake in the oven at 425°F–390°F (220°–200°C) for 1 1/2 hours. In the last 20 minutes, add the pineapple to the oven to caramelize slightly.

  6. 6

    Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing to keep the juices in.

  7. 7

    Sauté the sliced meat in a skillet, add the sliced onion and cook until translucent, then add the bell pepper, pineapple, and finally the cheese, letting it melt.

  8. 8

    Assemble the tacos while everything is hot and enjoy!
