Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken thighs or pork shoulder, cut into strips

- 1/4 cup vinegar (preferably cane or white vinegar)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns

Preparation
Start by marinating the meat. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, bay leaf, peppercorns, and a pinch of salt. Add the meat and marinate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
Cook the marinated meat in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked and slightly caramelized. While the meat cooks, prepare the pineapple salsa by mixing diced pineapple, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and lime juice in a bowl. Set aside.
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Assemble the tacos by placing the cooked adobo meat onto each tortilla, then topping with pineapple salsa and extra cilantro if desired.
