Tacos Al Pastor Recipe

This week, I’m continuing my Mexican kick with another delicious recipe: Pork Tacos Al Pastor on the Spit.

You’ll need:

2-3kg pork shoulder or loin, thinly sliced (3mm thick)

For the Marinade:

  • 4 Guajillo Chile boiled, de-seeded, and cleaned.
  • 1 Ancho Chile boiled, de-seeded, and cleaned.
  • 4 cloves of garlic
  • 1/2 onion
  • 1/2 cup of orange juice
  • 1  cup of pineapple juice-fresh is better
  • 1 Tablespoon of Oregano
  • 1 Tablespoon of Butcher BBQ Grill Rub
  • 1 Tablespoon of Pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon of Cumin
  • 1-2 Tablespoons of Paprika
  • 1-2 Tablespoons of Salt

In a container large enough to handle the marinade and the pork, combine all marinade ingredients.

Let the pork to marinate for 4 hours before placing it on the spit between Gyro Disks.
For that authentic Mexican flavour, I cook this over BB Mesquite.

Serve with salsa and tortillas!
