Ingredients

• 1 lb Pork shoulder, thinly sliced
• 1 cup Pineapple slices (optional, for marinade)
• 2 tbsp White vinegar
• 3 tbsp Orange juice (fresh, or low-carb orange juice if preferred)
• 3 tbsp Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tsp Paprika
• 1 tsp Cumin
• 1 tsp Dried oregano
• 1 tsp Salt
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 8 Keto tortillas
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 0.5 cup White onion, finely diced
• 4 Lime wedges
• 0.25 cup Radish slices (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a blender, combine the pineapple slices, white vinegar, orange juice, chipotle peppers in adobo, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, oregano, and salt. Blend until smooth to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the thinly sliced pork shoulder in a large bowl or zip-top bag. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

Step 3

Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Drizzle the olive oil onto the pan to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Cook the marinated pork in batches, searing each side until slightly charred and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the heat and let rest for 5 minutes.

Step 5

Slice the cooked pork into bite-sized pieces.

Step 6

Warm the keto tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over a low flame for a few seconds on each side until pliable.

Step 7

Assemble the tacos by dividing the cooked pork evenly among the tortillas. Top with chopped cilantro, diced onions, and, if desired, radish slices. Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.

Step 8

Enjoy your flavorful and keto-friendly Tacos al Pastor!
