About Al pastor
Al Pastor is a popular Mexican dish featuring thinly sliced pork marinated in a blend of chili peppers, achiote, garlic, and spices, often combined with pineapple for a sweet and tangy flavor. This preparation traces its origins to Lebanese shawarma, brought to Mexico by immigrants, where the meat is traditionally cooked on a vertical spit and shaved off in tender, caramelized slices. While Al Pastor is flavorful and rich in protein, it can be high in sodium and saturated fats depending on preparation methods. Pairing it with fresh toppings like cilantro, onions, and lime provides added vitamins and antioxidants, and serving it in corn tortillas keeps it gluten-free. Moderation and mindful portion sizes are key to enjoying Al Pastor as part of a balanced diet, complementing its indulgent taste with fresh, healthy sides.
