About Pork al pastor taco

Pork Al Pastor Taco is a flavorful Mexican dish inspired by Middle Eastern shawarma cooking techniques. This taco features marinated pork that is typically slow-cooked or spit-roasted, seasoned with a blend of chili peppers, garlic, achiote, and pineapple for a unique balance of smoky, savory, and tangy flavors. Served atop a soft corn tortilla, it’s often garnished with diced onions, fresh cilantro, and a wedge of lime, adding brightness and crunch. While rich in protein from the pork, it can be high in sodium and fats due to the marinade and cooking method. The corn tortilla provides gluten-free carbs, and the fresh toppings offer vitamins and antioxidants. Enjoying this taco in moderation as part of a balanced meal can be a delicious way to explore traditional Mexican street food.
