Tacos al Pastor Ingredients

Method

Tacos al Pastor Directions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Pork

    In a large bowl, combine pork slices, pineapple, onion, minced garlic, ancho chili powder, paprika, cumin, oregano, lime juice, and salt. Mix well to coat the pork. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pork

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the pork from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Grill or cook the pork for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and slightly charred.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Warm the corn tortillas on the grill or in a skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    Thinly slice the cooked pork and place it on the warmed tortillas. Top with fresh cilantro, sliced radishes, and additional pineapple if desired.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
