Steps:
- Marinate the wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes to help prevent charring. (I use my kitchen sink to do this)
- Rinse and cut pork into 1 inch chunks.
- Add the pork chunks to a bowl and add the sazon, adobo, cumin, oregano, oil and vinegar. With a spoon or your hands, mix seasoning well into pork.
- Marinade for at least 20 minutes or overnight.Cover and refrigerate to marinade.
- Once pork is marinated, skewer pork chunks onto wooden skewers.
- After lighting lump charcoal and letting it start to heat, wait until it forms some "white ash" on top, then lightly oil grill grate with a brush.
- Add pinchos and cook on one side for about 10 minutes and check that they are not burning.
- With a pair of tongs, flip pinchos over and cook for another 10 minutes.
- While pinchos are cooking, make the garlic mojo. Add peeled garlic and oil to a blender and blend or use a morter and pestle.
- Flip over again and cook for another 5 minutes.
- Flip one more time and cook for another 5 minutes.
- Pinchos are done.Top with garlic mojo, barbeque sauce or leave plain.I like to mix match mine for company to give them options.Don't forget to top each skewer with a slice of bread.
- Optional and what I do: Add the bread slices to the grill and brush with garlic mojo. Char on each side for a minute.Top each skewer with a slice of bread! Truly authentic pinchos!

PORK KABOBS (PINCHOS)
In Puerto Rico pinchos are grilled pork or chicken kabobs. They are just to die for! They are served with a slice of bread at the very tip. If you don't have a pilón (mortar and pestle) you can mix your marinade in a food processor or blender. From about.com.
