Al Pastor tacos are arguably Mexico City’s most trendy taco, known for their sweet, smoky flavour (as they are typically grilled on an open flame). Ours brings in the smoky heat of guajillo chillies and sweetness of pineapple. Top with salsa verde (made with green tomatoes and chillies) for a fresh kick.

Step 1

Step 2
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Slice your pineapple, brush lightly with olive oil then place on a baking tray and cook under the grill for 3-4 minutes, until the pineapple is slightly charred and has grill marks.
Step 3
Add 1-2 tbsp of oil to a pan and heat. Fry the marinated pork for approximately 5 minutes, until it's cooked through. Heat your tortillas in a separate dry pan, or wrap in foil and heat gently in the oven. CHECK LC BOX FOR PAN HEAT
