Slow-Roasted Bacon-Wrapped-Pineapple Tacos Recipe

• 6 whole dried ancho chilies, stems and seeds removed
• 2 whole chipotle peppers, canned in adobo
• 2 tablespoons (30ml) extra-virgin olive oil
• 4 medium cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon (2g) oregano, preferably Mexican
• 1 tablespoon (6g) whole cumin seed, toasted and ground
• 1 teaspoon (2g) whole coriander seed, toasted and ground
• Small pinch ground cloves
• 2 tablespoons (25g) dark brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons (45ml) cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon (15ml) soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon (15ml) Asian fish sauce
• Kosher salt
• 1 pineapple,
• , cut into 4 large chunks (about 2 1/2 pounds; 1.15kg pineapple meat)
• 8 ounces (225g) sliced bacon
• 40 corn tortillas,
• and kept warm
• Crumbled cotija cheese
• Thinly sliced red or green jalapeno or serrano chilies
• Roughly chopped fresh cilantro leaves

1. Adjust oven rack to center position and preheat oven to 350u0b0F (175u0b0C). Place dried ancho chilies on a microwave-safe plate and microwave until pliable and toasty-smelling, 10 to 20 seconds. Transfer to the jar of a blender and add chipotle peppers, olive oil, garlic, oregano, cumin seed, coriander seed, cloves, brown sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, and fish sauce. Blend until a smooth sauce has formed, about 1 minute. Season to taste with salt. Set aside.
2. Rub pineapple on all sides with half of the marinade and arrange on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Drape pineapple with bacon slices. Transfer to oven and roast until pineapple is tender and deepens in color and bacon is crisp, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
3. Remove bacon and cut into 2-inch pieces. Slice pineapple into 1/4- to 1/2-inch slices. Serve pineapple and bacon tucked into double-stacked corn tortillas topped with remaining marinade, salsa verde, cotija, fresh chilies, and cilantro.
