Preheat the oven to 180° C. Blend the marinade ingredients until combined. Marinate the meat for about 1 hour. In a pressure cooker, add the water, place the banana leaf with the pork and the marinade for the cochinita. Cover and cook for 35 minutes, remove from heat and shred the meat slightly. Set aside. Place a layer of Tostitos® Nacho Chips in a dish, add a layer of cochinita pibil, a layer of asadero cheese, and place another identical layer. Broil in the oven for 5 minutes or until the cheese melts. Place Tostitos® Nacho Chips around the dish, and add pickled onions to finish.
