About Taco al pastor
Taco Al Pastor is a classic Mexican dish rooted in Lebanon's shawarma tradition, blending Middle Eastern and Mexican flavors. It features marinated pork cooked on a vertical spit, seasoned with a tangy and smoky mix of adobo spices, including chili peppers, garlic, and achiote. Served on a small corn tortilla, the taco is typically topped with fresh pineapple, cilantro, and diced onions, adding a burst of sweetness and crunch. Nutritionally, Taco Al Pastor provides protein from the pork and vitamins from the pineapple and vegetables. However, its healthfulness depends on portion size and preparation, as the pork may be high in saturated fat and sodium from the marinade. Corn tortillas offer a gluten-free option, but combining them with balanced sides like leafy greens or beans can enhance its nutritional value. This flavorful staple showcases Mexico’s ingenuity in merging global culinary influences into a beloved street food.
