How to prepare tacos al pastor?
To prepare authentic tacos al pastor with pure Mexican style, you need to take several steps into consideration which will affect the result.
First, the meat must be marinated for the whole night or at least 4 hours with typical Mexican ingredients in order to get a strong flavor.
Second, the quality of the corn tortillas will be better if they are homemade, so you will prepare tacos al pastor 100% homemade.
For the third and last step, we must take into consideration the seasoning we will add at the end to intensify its flavor and enjoy true tacos al pastor, where we can’t miss the pineapple, the onion, coriander and the sauce.
About the cooking method, the traditional way is preparing them in a roast, piling the meat in a vertical position, while it turns around and cooks in front of the fire.
But what if we do not have a roast? Won’t we be able to enjoy delicious homemade tacos al pastor?
The good news is that, indeed, there are several ways to prepare them simulating the flavor we would get if we would have prepared them in the traditional way.
One of them is the oven roaster: we place the sliced meat interspersed with sliced pineapples as if they were on a brochette, and let it them cook for about 15 to 20 minutes.
Another way, which may be the most common in our homes, is using a frying pan or grill with one or two spoons of hot oil, depending on its size.
This last one is the one we are going to use today, and we assure you it will be marvelous.
