I didn't have the achiote or aji amarillo and I couldn't find a habanero, so I substituted two packets of Sazon Goya and a jalapeno. Like Stephanie says, the heat and salinity of the marinate is great against the sweetness of the pineapple. Soaked overnight and it was really, really good.

My grill is pretty cranky, so next time, I'll separate the pork, onion and pineapple on separate skewers so I can better control when to pull everything off the heat.

I had to order the achiote and the aji amarillo online because they aren't available around where I live, but it was well worth it! The heat of the marinade works so well with the sweetness of the pineapple. One thing I want to note is that you shouldn't let the oil heat up too much before putting in the achiote. I didn't know this the first time I tried, and the oil was obviously too hot. As soon as the seeds hit the pan they started popping and flying out of the pan, and the oil splattered everywhere. I threw that batch out and started again...and the next time it worked perfectly. I made this recipe last week and my husband is already asking me to make it again!

Easy to prepare and cook! I was unable to find the achiote seeds so had to leave that out. It was still wonderful and my family loved it! Great recipe for hot summer Texas night!
