Al Pastor Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Make the Marinade

   In a blender, combine pineapple juice, orange juice, dried chilies, garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, black pepper, vinegar, and olive oil. Blend until smooth.

2. 2

   Marinate the Pork

   Cut the pork shoulder into chunks and place them in a large bowl. Pour the marinade over the pork, making sure it's well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

3. 3

   Cook the Pork

   Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat. Remove the pork from the marinade and grill or roast until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F, about 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally.

4. 4

   Prepare the Toppings

   While the pork is cooking, chop fresh cilantro and onion. Prepare lime wedges for serving.

5. 5

   Serve

   Once the pork is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve it on tortillas with chopped onion, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime.
