Directions

Step 1

Cut the pork shoulder into 1-inch cubes and set aside.

Step 2

Remove the stems and seeds from the guajillo and ancho chilies.

Place the dried chilies in a bowl and cover them with hot water. Let them soak for 15 minutes until they are softened.

Pour the marinade over the pork cubes, making sure each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.

Step 7

Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly oil the grill grates.

Step 8

Remove the pork from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off.

Grill the pork cubes for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until they are cooked through and charred at the edges.

Step 10

Warm the gluten-free corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side.
