T-lish Tacos al Pastor



This is a traditional Mexican street food dish made with grilled pork that has been marinated and served with sauted onions, fresh cilantro, diced pineapple, and a squeeze of lime.

Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds boneless pork shoulder, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup pineapple juice
  • 2 tablespoons achiote paste
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish
  • Diced pineapple, for garnish
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions:

Smoked paprika, chili powder, cayenne pepper, salt, pepper, white vinegar, orange juice, pineapple juice, and achiote paste should all be mixed together in a bowl

To make the marinade, mix it well

Put the thinly sliced pork shoulder in a big bag or container that can be closed again and again

On top of the pork, pour the marinade

Close the bag and put it in the fridge for at least two hours, or better yet, overnight for the best results

Put vegetable oil in a large skillet and heat it over medium-high heat

Add the sliced onions and cook them until they get clear and a little caramelized

It will take about 5 to 7 minutes of cooking after adding the pork slices that have been marinated

To make the corn tortillas soft, heat them in a dry skillet or the microwave

To put the tacos together, cover each tortilla with a lot of the cooked al pastor pork

Add chopped cilantro, diced pineapple, sauted onions, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice on top

Serve your tasty Tacos al Pastor right away and enjoy them!
