Tacos Al Pastor Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Marinate the Pork

   In a mixing bowl, combine the achiote paste, orange juice, salt, and black pepper. Add the thinly sliced heritage pork and coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

2. 2

   Prepare the Grill

   Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

3. 3

   Grill the Pork

   Remove the pork from the marinade and grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and slightly charred. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly.

4. 4

   Grill the Pineapple

   Place the pineapple slices on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until caramelized and charred. Remove from the grill and chop into small pieces.

5. 5

   Warm the Tortillas

   Heat the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side until warm and pliable.

6. 6

   Assemble the Tacos

   On each tortilla, layer sliced pork, diced onions, chopped cilantro, and grilled pineapple. Serve with red and green salsa on the side.

7. 7

   Serve with French Fries

   Fry the French fries according to package instructions and serve alongside the tacos.
