Al Pastor Tacos are a beloved staple of Mexican cuisine, originating from a fusion of Lebanese shawarma and traditional Mexican flavors. They feature marinated pork, slow-cooked on a vertical spit called a trompo, that’s thinly sliced and served on warm corn tortillas. The marinade typically includes pineapple, achiote, and a blend of spices, giving the meat its signature smoky, sweet, and tangy taste. Common toppings include fresh cilantro, diced onions, a squeeze of lime, and additional pineapple for a burst of freshness. Al Pastor Tacos are a good source of protein and can be relatively low in calories when prepared traditionally. However, their sodium and fat content can be significant due to the seasoning and cooking method. Pairing them with fresh vegetables or a light side dish can help balance your meal. These vibrant tacos are a flavorful way to enjoy the rich culinary heritage of Mexico.
