Pastor Tacos Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Marinade

   In a bowl, combine the guajillo chiles (stemmed and seeded), pineapple juice, garlic cloves, cumin, oregano, and salt. Blend until smooth to create a marinade.

2. 2

   Marinate the Pork

   Place the pork shoulder in a large resealable bag or dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

3. 3

   Cook the Pork

   Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Remove the pork from the marinade and place it in a roasting pan. Cover with foil and bake for about 3 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily shredded.

4. 4

   Shred the Pork

   Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes. Then, shred the pork using two forks.

5. 5

   Prepare the Tacos

   Warm the corn tortillas in a skillet or microwave. Fill each tortilla with shredded pork, and top with fresh cilantro, diced onion, and a squeeze of lime juice.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side.
