8 guajillo chiles
1 chipotle morita chile
1 2-inch stick of Mexican cinnamon
1 tbsp achiote seeds or 1 cube achiote paste
1 tsp black peppercorns
1 tsp Mexican oregano
1/4 tsp cumin seeds
3 cloves
20 garlic cloves, skin on
1 cup apple cider vinegar
for tacos:
oil for the grill
1 cup adobo
Four 1⁄2-inch-thick boneless pork shoulder steaks
Kosher salt
