About Al pastor meat

Al Pastor meat is a flavorful Mexican dish with origins tracing back to Lebanese immigrants who introduced shawarma-style cooking to Mexico. This marinated pork is seasoned with a blend of chili peppers, garlic, vinegar, and a touch of sweetness from pineapple, giving it a savory and tangy profile. Traditionally cooked on a vertical spit, the meat is sliced thinly and often served in tacos, burritos, or bowls. Al Pastor provides protein, essential for muscle repair and growth, and offers moderate levels of vitamins such as B6 and niacin. However, its fat content can vary depending on preparation, and it may be high in sodium due to marinades. When enjoyed in moderation and paired with fresh toppings like onions, cilantro, and salsa, Al Pastor can be part of a balanced meal inspired by authentic Mexican cuisine.
