Al pastor’s signature red-hued marinade produces flavorful bites of whatever it coats. Traditionally used to marinate meat, you can also enjoy the same punch of flavor with a vegan alternative. Here, we use butternut squash for its hearty texture and subtle sweetness, which play well with the warm al pastor spices.
