Mexican-style Pork Tacos (Tacos Al Pastor) Recipe by Tasty
Instructions
Prep:15minCook:1h 45min
Maybe it's Taco Tuesday, or you're just in the mood for tacos because, honestly, who can resist a good taco? But not just any taco will do. You crave the authentic experience; we're here to turn that craving into reality. Our Tacos Al Pastor start with marinating juicy pork shoulder in a blend of achiote paste, chili powder, garlic powder, oregano, cumin, salt, pepper, vinegar, and pineapple juice for that irresistible flavor. Slow-roasted in the oven, the pork transforms into juicy perfection. But we don't stop there. We top the tacos with fresh cilantro, diced white onions, avocado, and a squeeze of lime for that extra zing.
