For the marinade, blend the guajillo chile with the pineapple, chipotle chile, achiote, pineapple juice, vinegar, cumin, oregano, and season with salt and pepper. Place the meat in a baking dish and pour the previous preparation over it, marinating for 30 minutes in the refrigerator. Meanwhile, cut the pineapple in half and use a spoon to hollow out one half, reserving the pulp for the sauce. Peel that half and set aside. Cut the other half of the pineapple into small, thin triangles to decorate your tacos. For the sauce, in a medium skillet, fry the chiles over low heat with a bit of oil until they slightly change color, being careful not to burn them, remove and set aside. In the same skillet, fry the garlic with the allspice, onion, and the pineapple pulp you reserved. Blend the previous preparation with the pineapple juice and season with salt to your taste. In a medium skillet, heat the oil and fry the meat, cooking for 10 minutes. Set aside. On a hot griddle, warm the tortillas. Place the tortillas on a platter, forming a crown, and using a spoon, add the meat, garnishing with onion, cilantro, and the pineapple triangles. Place the hollowed and peeled half of the pineapple in the center of the tacos and serve the árbol chile sauce there.
