Method

Preparation of Pork

  1. 1

    Marinate the Pork

    In a large bowl, combine the pork shoulder with pineapple juice, cumin, oregano, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the meat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pork

    Preheat your grill or oven to 375°F (190°C). Remove the pork from the marinade and place it on the grill or in a roasting pan. Cook for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Let the meat rest for 10 minutes before slicing it thinly.

Preparation of Toppings

  1. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the pork is cooking, chop the pineapple, red onion, and cilantro. Set aside. Slice the lime into wedges for serving.

  2. 4

    Prepare the Avocado

    Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Slice it into thin pieces and set aside.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble the Tacos

    Warm the corn tortillas on the grill or in a skillet. Place a few slices of the cooked pork on each tortilla, top with pineapple, red onion, cilantro, and avocado. Drizzle with sour cream.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side. Enjoy your delicious Side de Al Pastor!
