Tacos al Pastor Ingredients

Method

Tacos al Pastor Directions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Pork

    In a large bowl, combine the pork shoulder with adobo sauce, minced garlic, lime juice, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the pork evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pork

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the pork from the marinade and grill or cook in the skillet until browned and cooked through, about 25-30 minutes. Let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Tacos

    In a separate skillet, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat until pliable. To assemble, place a few slices of the cooked pork on each tortilla. Top with diced pineapple, chopped onion, and cilantro.

  4. 4

    Serve

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