About Taco de al pastor

Taco de Al Pastor is a flavorful and iconic dish rooted in Mexican cuisine, influenced by Lebanese shawarma traditions. This taco features marinated pork, typically seasoned with a mix of spices, chilies, and pineapple for a smoky, tangy, and slightly sweet taste. The pork is traditionally cooked on a vertical spit, sliced thin, and served on a corn tortilla, often topped with fresh cilantro, onion, and a squeeze of lime. Nutritionally, it offers a good source of protein from the pork and fiber from the corn tortilla. Pineapple provides vitamin C, while cilantro adds antioxidants. However, it can be high in sodium and saturated fats, depending on preparation methods. Pairing it with a fresh salad or limiting added sauces can balance its nutritional profile. Tacos de Al Pastor are perfect for a flavorful and culturally rich meal enjoyed in moderation.
