Pastor tacos are a flavorful staple of Mexican cuisine, celebrated for their marinated and spit-roasted pork filling. Originating in Mexico but inspired by Middle Eastern shawarma, the pork is seasoned with a blend of spices, achiote, and pineapple, creating a savory-sweet combination. Served on warm corn tortillas, they are typically topped with fresh cilantro, chopped onions, and a squeeze of lime, adding brightness and texture. Pineapple not only enhances the flavor but also contributes vitamin C and natural enzymes that support digestion. Corn tortillas provide a gluten-free base and are lower in fat compared to flour alternatives. While pastor tacos offer protein from the pork and fresh produce toppings, they can be higher in sodium due to marinades and seasonings. Opting for lean cuts of pork and moderation in portions can make this dish a balanced choice for enjoying its vibrant flavors.
