Tacos Al Pastor Ingredients

Method

Tacos Al Pastor Directions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Pork

    In a blender, combine chipotle peppers, garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, and lime juice. Blend until smooth. Coat the pork shoulder with the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pork

    Preheat the grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the pork from the marinade and grill or sear until fully cooked, about 20-30 minutes, turning occasionally. Let the meat rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Tacos

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

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the tacos with lime wedges for squeezing on top.
