There’s an explanation Tacos Pastor are widely adored and I’m so eager to share my interpretation of these heavenly Mexican tacos, adjusted for home cooks to utilize a barbecue, oven, or broiler to cook the meat. Serve them on warm corn tortillas with delicate meat, barbecued pineapple, cured red onions, and cilantro.
I’ve needed to share a Tacos Pastor recipe for a long time, since going gaga for them from different cafés and road sellers in Mexico City, Puebla, and a few different states all through Mexico. After heaps of testing with cooking the meat in various ways, I’m so excited to share a recipe I believe is an outright victor!
This is certainly not a valid Tacos Pastor recipe, since they are customarily made by broiling the pork on an upward spit and removing flimsy pieces from it. A few recipes online attempt to mirror this technique however I think end up excessively muddled and untidy. This recipe is simple, agreeable, and brings about staggeringly delightful, incredible Al Minister tacos.
How to make Tacos Pastor:
Plan Pork: Eliminate any enormous bits of fat. Cut the pork evenly into long and wide, 1/4” thick pieces (you could request that your butcher do this).
