Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 oz. guajillo peppers cleaned and seed removed (About 4 peppers)
1 oz. achiote paste
¼ cup pineapple juice (you could use the juices from the sliced pineapple can)
¼ cup white vinegar
3 garlic cloves
1 tsp. Mexican oregano
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
¼ tsp. ground black pepper
2 cloves
1 ¼ tsp. salt
2 Lbs. pork butt (Shoulder cut in 1/3 inch steaks)
Salt and pepper to season the meat
1 medium size white onion cut in slices
1 can of pineapple rings
1 medium size bunch of cilantro (washed and finely chopped)
1 medium size onion finely chopped
12 Corn tortillas
A good spicy salsa of your choice

Steps:

  • Place the peppers in a saucepan and cover with water. Simmer over a medium heat for about 15 minutes or until they look soft. Let them cool and drain.
  • Place peppers, vinegar, pineapple juice with the spices and achiote paste in your blender. Process it until you have a very smooth sauce. Pour the sauce slowly through a fine sieve to get a nice homogenous texture. At this time, taste the sauce just to make sure the salt is enough for your taste.
  • Season the meat with salt and pepper. Place the sauce and steaks in a large bowl and marinate the meat or use a pastry brush and apply the sauce to each side of the steaks.
  • Marinade for at least 4 hours or overnight of hours (believe me it tastes way better), and then grill the steaks or fry in a skillet. Grilling some pineapple and onion slices along the meat to add to the tacos when serving. When cooking in a skillet, remove any excess adobo sauce since it will stick to the pan.

TACOS AL PASTOR



Tacos al Pastor image

Tacos al pastor, a Mexican street-food staple, are a perfect synthesis of local flavors (pineapple, chiles, annatto), Spanish influence (pork, adobo), and Middle Eastern technique (a spinning, shawarma-style vertical rotisserie). The synthesis comes from Mexico's history, but perfection comes from the combination of sweet pineapple, spicy meat and fragrant corn. This recipe, from the chef Gabriela Cámara, provides an easy way to make it at home; try boneless chicken thighs if you don't want pork. Either way, make sure to blot the meat until very dry before cooking it so you get a hard sear that mimics the char of a grill.

Time 45m

Yield 12 tacos (3 to 4 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 dried cascabel chiles
1 dried ancho or guajillo chile
2 plum tomatoes, halved and cored
1/4 small white onion
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed orange juice
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1 to 2 chiles de árbol (depending on how much heat you like), stems removed
3 garlic cloves
1 whole clove or 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground achiote (annatto) seeds
Pinch of ground cumin
Pinch of dried oregano
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 pounds pork tenderloin, thinly sliced crosswise then cut into bite-size slices and shreds
Kosher salt
1 cup small chunks fresh pineapple
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
12 corn tortillas
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more as needed
Minced white onion and chopped fresh cilantro, in separate bowls, for topping
Hot sauce and lime wedges, for topping

Steps:

  • Make the marinade: Break off the stem ends of the cascabel and ancho (or guajillo) chiles and shake out and discard the seeds. Place chiles in a saucepan and pour over cold water to just cover. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then turn off the heat and let the chiles soak, 15 minutes.
  • In a blender, combine tomatoes, onion, oil, citrus juices, stemmed chile de árbol, garlic, clove, achiote seeds, cumin, oregano and salt. Add the soaked chiles and a few tablespoons of the soaking water and purée until smooth. Add more of the soaking water if needed to make a thin paste. Set aside about 1/2 cup of the marinade for cooking.
  • Sprinkle the meat with salt. Place in a container, add remaining marinade, and mix until well coated. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight. (The recipe can be made up to this point up to 1 day in advance.) Bring to room temperature before cooking.
  • Combine the pineapple and sugar in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Stir often until the sugar is melted and the pineapple is caramelized, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oven to 225 degrees. Prepare a tortilla basket or slightly damp clean dish towel. On a griddle or in a heavy skillet, warm the tortillas on both sides until hot and blistered, stacking them in the basket or wrapped in the towel. Transfer to the oven until ready to serve.
  • Place a large, heavy skillet over high heat. Drain off all excess liquid from the meat and blot between layers of paper towels. Add the oil to the hot skillet, swirl to heat through, then add 2 tablespoons marinade. Let sizzle for a moment, then add the meat, spreading it out in a single layer. (If your skillet is smaller than 12 inches, cook in batches to avoid crowding the pan.) Let meat cook undisturbed over high heat until browned on the bottom, then sauté over high heat, stirring often, until cooked through but still moist, about 5 minutes. After 3 minutes, taste and stir in more reserved marinade as needed. When cooked, transfer to a serving bowl.
  • Place everything on the table, including the toppings, and serve at once.

Categories     Dinner

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

5 lb boneless pork shoulder
3 tablespoons achiote paste
2 tablespoons guajillo chili powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon pepper
¾ cup white vinegar
1 cup pineapple juice
1 pineapple, skinned and sliced into 1-inch (2 cm) rounds
10 small corn tortillas
1 white onion, finely chopped
1 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
1 cup salsa
1 avocado, diced
2 limes, cut into wedges
1 thick wooden skewer, trimmed to the height of your oven

Steps:

  • Slice the pork shoulder into about 1-centimeter (¼ in) slices, then transfer to a large dish or bowl. In a medium bowl, combine the achiote paste, chili powder, garlic powder, oregano, cumin, salt, pepper, vinegar, and pineapple juice, mashing and stirring until smooth with no lumps. Pour the marinade over the pork slices, then toss to make sure they are coated on all sides. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 3 days.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  • Place a slice or two of the pineapple on the baking sheet. Take a wooden skewer and push it directly in the middle of the pineapple. Remove the pork from the fridge and push the slices through the skewer, layering one after the other until there is a 1-inch (2 ½ cm) gap at the top. Push another pineapple slice on top.
  • Bake for about 1½ hours, until the pork is slightly charred on the outside and deep red. Rest the meat for about 10 minutes, then carve off thin slices of pork and roasted pineapple.
  • To assemble, place some pork on the tortillas, followed by a few pieces of pineapple, a sprinkling of onion, a pinch of cilantro, and a spoonful of salsa, and some diced avocado. Serve with lime wedges.
  • Enjoy!
