Tacos Al Pastor Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Pork

    In a bowl, combine achiote paste, minced garlic, lime juice, olive oil, and salt. Mix well. Add the sliced pork shoulder, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best flavor.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pork

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the pork from the marinade and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and slightly charred. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare Tacos

    Warm the corn tortillas on the grill or in a skillet. Once the pork has rested, chop it into bite-sized pieces. Assemble the tacos by placing pork, diced pineapple, chopped onion, and cilantro on each tortilla.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the tacos with sliced radishes and lime wedges on the side for garnish and additional flavor.
