What Are Tacos Al Pastor?

Tacos al pastor are a popular Mexican street food, originating from a combination of Middle Eastern shawarma and traditional Mexican ingredients. They are made by marinating pork in a blend of spices and pineapple, then slow-cooking it on a vertical spit. The cooked pork is sliced thin and served on warm corn tortillas, garnished with onions, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime.

Tacos Al Pastor Recipe:

1. Marinate the Pork: Blend the achiote paste, guajillo chilli peppers (rehydrated in hot water), Mexican oregano, garlic, vinegar, and pineapple juice to create a marinade. Coat thinly sliced pork with the marinade and let it sit for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
2. Cook the Pork: Grill the marinated pork on a barbecue or a grill pan until fully cooked. If possible, cook it on a vertical spit for an authentic taste.
3. Prepare the Tortillas: Warm the corn flour tortillas on a hot griddle or skillet until they are soft and pliable.
4. Assemble the Tacos: Place the cooked pork on the warm tortillas. Add finely chopped onions, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
5. Add Heat: Drizzle your choice of El Yucateco habanero hot sauce for an extra kick.
