For the marinade, blend the achiote with the vinegar, chilies, garlic, onion, roasted tomato, pineapple juice, salt, oregano, allspice, cumin, and cloves. In a bowl, mix the chicken with the marinade and marinate for 2 hours in the refrigerator. In a skillet, heat the oil and cook the chicken for 15 minutes or until cooked through. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Cut the pineapple in half and, using a spoon, hollow it out, add the chicken, sprinkle with manchego cheese, and broil for 10 minutes in the oven. Garnish with cilantro and sliced onion. Serve in a taco style with corn tortillas and accompany with lime and guacamole.
