Tacos Al Pastor Ingredients

Preparation Directions

  2. 2

    Cook the Pork

    Preheat a grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated pork and cook until tender and slightly charred, about 10-15 minutes. Add diced pineapple in the last few minutes of cooking to caramelize.

    Prepare the Tacos

    Warm the corn tortillas on a skillet or grill. Fill each tortilla with the cooked pork and pineapple mixture. Top with chopped cilantro and diced onions.

  4. 4

    Serve
