Method

Prepare the Pork

  1. 1

    Marinate the Pork

    In a large bowl, combine the pork shoulder with pineapple juice, dried oregano, ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the pork is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for best flavor.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pork

    Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Place the marinated pork shoulder in a roasting pan. Cover with foil and bake for 3-4 hours, or until the pork is tender and shreds easily with a fork. Remove from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before shredding the meat.

Assemble the Tacos

  1. 3

    Prepare the Tortillas

    While the pork is resting, heat the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they are warm and slightly charred. Keep them warm in a clean kitchen towel.

  2. 4

    Fill the Tacos

    Shred the cooked pork using two forks. Take a warm tortilla and fill it with a generous amount of shredded pork. Top with diced onions, sliced radishes, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

  3. 5

    Serve

    Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side and a dollop of sour cream for added creaminess. Enjoy your delicious Pastor Tacos!
