Tacos Al Pastor Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Marinade

   In a blender, combine guajillo peppers, ancho chili, garlic, oregano, cumin, salt, pepper, vinegar, and sugar. Blend until smooth.

2. 2

   Marinate the Pork

   Cut the pork shoulder into small pieces and place it in a bowl. Pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring it is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best flavor.

3. 3

   Cook the Pork

   Preheat a grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the pork from the marinade and grill or cook it for about 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and slightly charred.

4. 4

   Add Pineapple

   During the last few minutes of cooking, add the diced pineapple to the grill or skillet, allowing it to caramelize slightly.

5. 5

   Assemble the Tacos

   Warm the corn tortillas on the grill for a few seconds on each side. Fill each tortilla with the cooked pork and pineapple mixture, and top with chopped onions and cilantro.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top. Enjoy!
