About Tacos al pastor
Tacos Al Pastor are a flavorful Mexican street food staple, inspired by shawarma brought to Mexico by Lebanese immigrants. These tacos feature marinated pork, seasoned with a blend of chili peppers, garlic, achiote, and spices, cooked on a vertical spit (trompo) for tender, smoky layers. Served on small, soft corn tortillas, they are traditionally topped with fresh cilantro, diced onions, pineapple, and a squeeze of lime. Nutritionally, they offer protein from the pork and essential vitamins from the toppings, such as vitamin C in pineapple and lime. The use of corn tortillas adds fiber and is naturally gluten-free. However, the dish can be high in sodium and saturated fats depending on preparation. Enjoying Tacos Al Pastor in moderation, paired with healthier sides like a fresh salad or grilled vegetables, can help balance their indulgent yet vibrant flavors.
