Al Pastor Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Marinade

   In a blender, combine guajillo chiles, ancho chiles, garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, black pepper, apple cider vinegar, orange juice, and brown sugar. Blend until smooth.

2. 2

   Marinate the Pork

   Cut the pork shoulder into large chunks and place in a bowl. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring all pieces are coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.

3. 3

   Cook the Pork

   Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat. Remove the pork from the marinade and shake off excess. Grill or roast until cooked through and tender, about 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally.

4. 4

   Prepare the Pineapple

   While the pork is cooking, slice the pineapple into rings and grill for 3-4 minutes on each side until caramelized.

5. 5

   Assemble the Tacos

   Once the pork is cooked, chop it into small pieces. Serve on warm corn tortillas topped with grilled pineapple, chopped white onion, and fresh cilantro.
