Adobada Tacos
Instructions
Prep:10minCook:30min
Here is another taco recipe in the magical world of Mexican tacos, if you make your way down to Mexico make sure to try this taco in the local taquerias. But in the meantime, you can also make these delicious tacos at home and we will tell you how. Adobada tacos are prepared with pork shoulder steaks that are marinated in a mixture of Mexican dried chillies, garlic, onion, vinegar, orange juice, spices and herbs. The marinade gives the pork its distinctive bright red brick colour as well as serving as a tenderizer for the meat. Adobada tacos can look similar to al pastor tacos, but there are a few key differences. All pastor tacos are cooked in a vertical spit fire known as “trompo” and adobada tacos are prepared in a griddle. The marinade for al pastor traditionally contains achiote and pineapple juice contrary to adobada. In conclusion, they are both super delicious but special in their own way, another benefit for adobada tacos is that they are easier to prepare at home using your regular stovetop. Adobada tacos are served with the pork thinly sliced over warm corn tortillas and a simple garnish of finely diced onion and coriander and don’t forget to serve with a good salsa on the side. You can try Gran Luchito Salsas and pick your favourite, we particularly recommend Mango-Habanero Salsa with this recipe. Serve your tacos with our recipe for Mexican beans and homemade guacamole on the side.
