    Ingredients
    5 lbs pork shoulder (boneless)
    1 large pineapple (See Note 1)
    Marinade
    1/3 cup chili seasoning (powder) (see below for quick option)
    2 tbsp achiote paste (optional, See note 2)
    1 white onion peeled and halved
    3/4 cup pineapple juice
    1/4 cup white vinegar
    5 cloves garlic
    3 tsp salt
    1 tsp Mexican oregano (See Note 3)
    1/2 tsp ground cumin
    1/2 tsp cinnamon
    1/8 tsp ground clove
    2 tsp epazote (optional, See Note 4)
    Assembly
    flour or corn tortillas
    1 1/2 cups fresh pineapple diced (from above pineapple)
    1 white onion sliced or diced
    1 bunch cilantro chopped
    limes quartered
    Salsa Verde
    Roasted Tomato Salsa
    Pico de Gallo
    Homemade Chili Powder (optional)
    3 pasilla (negro) dried chiles (2.5 tablespoons ground/powdered)
    3 dried Guajillo chiles (2.5 tablespoons ground/powdered)
    2 dried chiles de arbol (1 teaspoon ground/powdered)
    Instructions
    If grilling or roasting in the oven, slice pork shoulder into 1/4 inch slices. For other methods, trim fat from the pork shoulder and cut meat into 3 to 4 inch chunks.
    Chile powder
    If using your own chili powder, skip this step and make the marinade.
    Using gloves, remove the stems and scrape out the seeds from the dried chiles. Toast over low heat in a dry skillet for a few minutes.
    Allow chiles to cool, then grind to a powder in a spice/coffee grinder. Alternatively, soak the peppers in hot water for 20 minutes, then blend with the marinade ingredients.
    Marinade
    To a blender, add the chili powder, achiote paste, onion, pineapple juice, vinegar, garlic, salt, Mexican oregano, cinnamon, clove and epazote (optional). Blend until pureed.
    If grilling or roasting in the oven, slice pork shoulder into 1/4 inch slices. For other methods, trim fat from the pork shoulder and cut meat into 3 to 4 inch chunks.
    Place pork in a sealable food storage bag or container that can be covered with a lid. Pour the chile marinade over the pork.
    Wearing kitchen gloves, use your hands to toss the chile marinade and pork together, then cover container.
    Chill in refrigerator a minimum of 4 hours, or up to 10 hours.
    Allow meat to come to room temp prior to cooking.
    For the Grill or Smoker: (See Note 5)
    Preheat grill to 250°F.
    Shake off excess marinade. Place cut pineapple bottoms into a cast iron skillet or shallow baking pan.
    Insert a wooden or metal skewer or long wooden chopstick through the center of the pineapple.
    Start layering slices of marinated pork, repeating until meat is used, or you have 1 inch of skewer left. Leave 1 inch of skewer on top and cap it with trimmed pineapple top.
    Grill at 250°F for 3 1/2 hours, or until internal temp reaches 145°F-150°F. (See Note 5). Start basting with pan juices in last hour.
    Outside should be caramelized and crispy. Use a sharp chef's or serrated knife to slice meat in downward motion. Put pan back on grill to crisp up the edges as you continue to slice remaining meat.
    ***For other cooking methods (Oven, Slow Cooker and Instant Pot) see via website link to recipe above. There was not enough space here to list it all.
    Serving:
    Serve in small tortillas topped with chopped onion, cilantro, squeeze of lime juice and hot salsa. I like diced pineapple on top as well, but this is optional.
    Notes
    1. I used 1 large pineapple. Trim the green top off and cut the top about 2 inches down and do the same from the bottom. These will be the bases for the skewers to stand in and the meat is then placed on top. Top the meat with 2 more 2-inch pieces of trimmed pineapple rings (as seen in video). The remaining is trimmed, diced and used for serving (about 1 1/2 cups).
    2. Achiote paste can be found in most Mexican markets, or you can make your own achiote paste. It creates the authentic deep red color and flavor that al pastor is known for.
    3. Mexican oregano is a relative of Lemon Verbena and is native to Mexico, with notes of mild licorice and citrus.Mediterranean oregano is a member of the mint family and most often is used in Greek and Italian recipes. Mediterranean oregano is the one most found in spice racks at supermarkets.
    4. Epazote is similar to oregano and fennel with minty notes. It’s found in Mexican cooking and is typically used in beans for flavor and helping reduce their tendency to cause flatulence.
    5. I grill in a Traeger smoker on the lowest rack because it allows me to fine tune and control the heat at lower temperatures better than regulating a charcoal or gas grill. When grilling, times may vary depending on what type of grill you are using. Pork is done when internal temperature of pork is is 145°F to 150°F.

    Guys a majority of so called Mexican restaurants here in the U.S. don't even make these type of tacos like this guy did.
    They now take a shortcut and just take the meat and fry it on a big skillet, with no pineapple, and or drippings of any kind.
    It pisses me off that there is virtually no place to get the type of Taco De Trompo that this guy just made. This man is a genius!

      Preheat oven to 250°F. Shake off excess marinade and place pork cubes in a 11x13" roasting pan or stone (I use a Pampered Chef stone bakeware).
      Slow roast at 250°F covered with aluminum foil for 5 hours. Remove the aluminum foil and continue roasting for 1 hour or until completely tender when pulled with a fork.

The recipe linked in the post itself is for another option of chili powder I make. End result, you'll need 1/3 cup chili powder period.

    Hi Kevin, for the grill method, what kind of grill did you use. I have a Weber but curious how you set the pan in the grill for cooking etc? Was it a gas or charcoal grill?

    • @KevinIsCooking
      @KevinIsCooking  Рік тому +1

      I grill in a Traeger smoker on the lowest rack because it allows me to fine tune and control the heat at lower temperatures better than regulating a charcoal or gas grill. When grilling, times may vary depending on what type of grill you are using. Pork is done when internal temperature of pork is is 145°F to 150°F.

  • @matthewm1525
    @matthewm1525 Рік тому

    Pineapple juice works in a different way than using an acid like vinegar, lime, lemon, etc. There is an enzyme in pineapple that breaks down tissue. If yo leave this to marinade too long it will be "overcooked". It's ok to use pineapple juice in marinades, but the food cannot sit in the marinade as long without seeing an undesirable affect?

    • @KevinIsCooking
      @KevinIsCooking  Рік тому +1

      This works just fine as written Matthew. The digestive enzyme called bromelain in fresh pineapple juice does, but along with the vinegar and amount of pork, you're fine.

      Absolutely not true and actually its like the most logical idea. Why do people think that because another website that bombarded the public with numerous videos and crazy recipes on social thinks they are the origin of an idea or technique? I have had this recipe since I first moved to San Diego in 1981 and actually published the recipe in 2013 when I first started this site. I had to look up Tasty and it appears Tasty posted their version in 2021. I hate to say it, but they have been known to use other peoples ideas. I actually finally made a video for this one in 2020 during COVID boredom, the recipe itself was doing great on my site. Next time ask where the idea or recipe came from instead of accusing someone of stealing. #integrity

    • @KevinIsCooking
      @KevinIsCooking  Рік тому

      How is referencing the origin of a dish stealing? If you read the recipe post I state: Al Pastor's history is most likely a result of the shawarma spit-grilled meat brought by Lebanese immigrants to Mexico. It's also similar to the Turkish doner kebab and the Greek gyros. Whereas shawarma typically uses lamb (thus the “shepherd style” name), gyros and tacos al pastor in Mexico are made using pork.
