Start by preparing the marinade for the pork.

Add salt to taste.

Squeeze the juice of 1 medium orange into the marinade.

Boil 1 tomato with the chiles until well cooked, then let it cool.

Once cooled, blend the boiled tomato and chiles with 1 cup of pineapple juice, cumin, garlic, oregano, cloves, and bay leaves.

Strain the blended mixture if necessary, then mix it with the pork, ensuring it's well coated.

Cover and let the pork marinate for 2 hours (or overnight for better flavor).

Prepare the accompaniments: chop onion, cilantro, and radishes, and prepare salsa.

Chop the pineapple into larger pieces to prevent it from disintegrating while cooking.

Heat oil in a skillet and add the marinated pork, stirring occasionally.

Cook the pork slowly, ensuring it cooks through and absorbs the flavors from the marinade.

After cooking the pork, add the chopped pineapple to the skillet and mix well.

Once everything is cooked, chop the pork into smaller pieces for serving.

Warm the corn tortillas in the skillet and fill them generously with the pork and pineapple mixture.

Top the tacos with cilantro, onion, and radish, and serve with lime wedges.
