Al pastor tacos are a delicious Mexican dish made with marinated pork, pineapple, and fresh toppings, served in soft corn tortillas.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs pork shoulder, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine pineapple juice, white vinegar, garlic, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

  6. Warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side.
  7. Assemble the tacos by placing the chopped pork on the tortillas, then topping with diced pineapple, chopped onion, and cilantro.
  8. Serve with lime wedges on the side.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the pork overnight.
  • Feel free to add your favorite toppings such as salsa or avocado.
  • These tacos can also be made with chicken or beef if preferred.
