papilla chile

5-6 guajillo chiles

garlic

tsp cumin

limes (juiced)

tbsp of adobe sauce

vinegar

pineapple

TBS sugar

tsp mexican oregano

onion

orange juice

limes

tortilla shells

pineapple salsa

In a small sauce pan boil pasilla chile and guajillo chiles until guajillo chile is soft. about 10 minutes.

Take chiles out, remove stems and seeds.

Place in blender with vinegar, orange juice, pineapple,garlic, onion, cumin, lime, chipotle, adobe sauce, vinegar, pineapple, salt, oregano, and sugar. Blend until smooth. Divide in to two.

Using an injector- inject 1/2 of the marinade into the pork.

Start by injecting your meat.  Place in the needle and move it 4 different directions squirting marinade into each direction. Continue this all over the pork shoulder until you have used about 1/2 the marinade OR you have put all that you can into the meat. Pour the remaining al pastor sauce over and under the pork butt.Allow to marinate 4 hours to overnight.

HOW TO SMOKE AL PASTORPreheat the smoker to 270, and wait until it burns clean.Put your pork fat side up on the smoker. Also place a dish of water to the side. Let smoke for 3 hours at 270.At hour 3 spritz with apple cider vinegar every hour. You can also place pineapple on the top if desired. To remove from the smoker use a clean dry bowl and pick it up. Using a towel, instead of tongs will keep the meat from squeezing and juices excreting.At about hour 6-7 you should see the fat cap separating and splitting at that point you will want to remove the pork from the smoker and wrap it in foil.Once foil wrapped place back on the smoker for another at 270 for one house. Raise the temp to 290 and keep on smoker until the internal temp is about 200-204.  Remove from smoker. Let rest.HOW DO I KNOW MY PORK IS SMOKED PERFECT? while its wrapped in the foil if you press on the meat from side to side it will jiggle. Unwrap the meat and the bone will slide right out with no resistance.

Authentic Mexican Tacos Recipe

olive oil or canola oil

water or beef broth

smoked paprika

sea salt

black pepper

Corn tortilla or flour tortilla

avocado

Mexican cheese blend

(diced)

Salsa

cilantro

Sour cream

Lime wedges

Pico de gallo (optional)

Heat the oil in your skillet for two minutes over medium-high heat. Add your meat once the oil is hot enough to sizzle.

Add the ground beef to the skillet and stir as the meat cooks evenly and begins to brown. This process will take between 6-8 minutes. While the meat is browning, use a wooden spoon or potato masher to break the ground beef up into smaller pieces.

Add the beef broth, tomato paste, cumin, chili powder, oregano, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper to the skillet with the meat.

Reduce the heat to medium and allow the meat mixture to simmer for about 3-5 minutes until the sauce becomes thick. Stir occasionally. When the sauce is thick, turn off the heat and set the skillet aside.

Heat your tortillas by putting one tortilla at a time into a hot ungreased skillet or cast-iron comal for 30 seconds on each side.

For each tortilla, add about 2-3 tablespoons of your taco meat mixture. Top the ground beef mixture with onion, cheese, cilantro, and tomato.

Add whatever other garnishes you want to your tacos, including sour cream, salsa, pico de gallo, or guacamole. Squeeze the lime juice over your assembled tacos.

Enjoy!

I thought I didn&#x27;t like pineapple in savory dishes until I tried tacos al pastor. The meat is marinaded with delicious ingredients such as cinnamon, pineapple and chiles and topped with a fresh pineapple salsa.

Dried chiles: Use either 2 ancho chiles and 1 guajilo or just 2-3 guajilos if you cannot find ancho.  If you want you can remove the seeds. Boil water and pour over the chiles and allow them to rehydrate for around 10 minutes.

Make marinade: Put the rehydrated chiles in a food processor, along with all the other marinade ingredients and process until smooth. Pour the marinade into a pot and bring to a boil for around 5 minutes. This is important as it breaks some of the enzymes in the fresh pineapple, which could eventually turn your meat into mush. Turn off the heat and let it cool to room temperature.

Marinate meat: Combine marinade with sliced chicken or...

Marinate meat: Combine marinade with sliced chicken or pork. Marinate the meat for no more than an hour - the pineapple still has a lot of enzymes which tenderizes meat. Heat a pan to medium high and fry the meat until the meat is cooked through (5-7 minutes).

Pineapple salsa: Cut the pineapple into small cubes,...

Pineapple salsa: Cut the pineapple into small cubes, mix with chopped cilantro, cinnamon, cumin, oregano and maybe some fajitas spice if you have it on hand.

Assemble: top small corn tortillas with the cooked meat, minced shallot onion and cilantro, sour cream and pineapple salsa. Finish off with a drizzle of lime juice. You can also add in a little salsa verde, although I find the homemade pineapple salsa much more important than the salsa verde.
