Pork Pibil is a dish that originated in the Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico. It mainly consists of pork marinated with bitter oranges (typical from the region), spices, and annatto seeds that are used to give the vibrant burnt orange colour to this dish. Traditionally the meat is wrapped in banana leaves and cooked in an oven made in a hole in the ground, lined with stones. After a few hours, the meat is dug out and the banana leaves open to reveal tender and delicious pork. This is then served in tacos with pickled red onion and habanero (a chilli). Very spicy but the perfect complement to these cochinita pibil tacos! This pork taco recipe is our humble homage to Pork Pibil Tacos. We wanted to come up with a taco recipe that is very practical to prepare at home, and with all the delicious smokiness and depth of flavour that our Chipotle Paste gives. For a really authentic Mexican experience, and if you have a bit of time, we recommend making your own corn tortillas to accompany this authentic cochinita pibil recipe. However, for those who are looking for a more practical recipe you can of course use our Soft Taco Wraps. We serve our delicious chipotle pork pibil with Hot Habanero Mango Salsa which compliments this dish perfectly! A side of Mexican Corn and a couple of our Easy Quesadillas Luchito Style would finish things off perfectly!
