Soak the guajillo and ancho chiles in hot water for 15 minutes until softened.
In a blender, combine the soaked chiles, pineapple juice, vinegar, garlic, oregano, cumin, cloves, cinnamon, chipotle, achiote paste, and salt. Blend until smooth.
Marinate the pork slices in the blended sauce for at least 4 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
Heat oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated pork until slightly charred and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
In the same skillet, cook the diced pineapple until caramelized, about 3-4 minutes.
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or on a grill.
Assemble the tacos by placing the cooked pork and pineapple on tortillas. Top with chopped onion and cilantro.
Serve with lime wedges on the side.
