Tacos al Pastor Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Marinade

   In a blender, combine pineapple juice, achiote paste, garlic cloves, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth.

2. 2

   Marinate the Pork

   Place the pork shoulder in a large bowl or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it's well coated. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best flavor.

   Cook the Pork

   Preheat grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove pork from marinade and discard the remaining marinade. Cook the pork for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

   Prepare the Tacos

   Warm the corn tortillas on the grill or in a skillet. Slice the cooked pork thinly and divide among the tortillas. Top with diced pineapple, chopped cilantro, and diced onion.

5. 5
