In a hot comal, roast the onion with the garlic and tomatoes until the skin begins to darken. Remove from heat and blend with the achiote, guajillo chiles, orange juice, white vinegar, oregano, clove, salt, and pepper until you get a smooth mixture. Reserve. Preheat the oven to 200 °C. Place the pork leg on a deep tray, season with enough salt and pepper, and pour the marinade over it until completely covered. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 40 minutes at 200 °C. Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, and slice the leg into thin slices. To assemble the sandwich, using a serrated knife, slice the bolillo bread in half, spread mayonnaise on one half and refried beans on the other. On the mayonnaise side, place lettuce leaves, add slices of adobada leg, and top with onion, tomato, and avocado to taste, then cover with the half of the bread with refried beans, serve with pickled jalapeños.
