About Al pastor street taco

Al Pastor Street Tacos are a vibrant staple of Mexican cuisine, celebrated for their bold flavors and rich history. Traditionally made with marinated pork, Al Pastor originates from the fusion of Lebanese shawarma techniques and Mexican spices. The pork is seasoned with a blend of chili peppers, pineapple, cumin, and achiote, then slow-cooked on a vertical spit and thinly sliced for serving. Nestled in a soft corn tortilla, these tacos are typically topped with fresh cilantro, diced onions, and a squeeze of lime. Nutritionally, Al Pastor tacos offer a balance of lean protein and essential nutrients from the fresh toppings. Corn tortillas provide a gluten-free carb option, while the pineapple adds a touch of natural sweetness. However, moderation is key, as the marinade may contain added sugars, and fatty cuts of pork can increase calorie content. Enjoy as a flavorful treat with balanced portions!
