Check out our recipe for making Mexican street food Tacos Al Pastor at home.
In today video I'm gonna show you, our own style, step by step, how Tacos Al Pastor is made using BBQ grill.

Taco al pastor is one of the most popular tacos in Mexico. The way Taco Al pastor made, is cooked on a vertical rotisserie just like making doner kebab. But instead of using lamb or chicken, It's usually made out of stacked pork, layer by layer using different kinds of spices or rubs and is sliced into thin shavings as it cooks.

HOMEMADE TACOS AL PASTOR
3 Lb Pork (boneless shoulder or Boston butt) or Boneless Chicken (cut thin , about ¼ inch)
I made this FOR PARTY so I mix with chicken thigh and breast

For the marinades:
1 Large Onion
6 Garlic cloves
1 Tbsp cumin powder
1 Tbsp Black pepper
1 Tbsp Oregano
4- 6 Dried Chiles/Guajillo (Buy Here: [ Ссылка ])
½ Cup Adobo Sauces (Optional) (Buy Here: [ Ссылка ])
1-2 Tbsp Chipotle peppers - to give smokey taste and extra spicy (Buy Here: [ Ссылка ])
2 Packs Sazon seasoning (Buy Here: [ Ссылка ])
2-3 Cup Pineapple Juice (to give sweet taste)

(The Paste is enough to marinade 3 Lb Pork Shoulder
and 3 Lb Boneless Chicken (mix thigh and breast)

METHOD:
Get the spices together and blend it, to make a nice thick paste.
Before we add the marinade, Add Apple Cider Vinegar, Salt and Taco seasoning in to the meat and give a good massage.

Then add the marinade paste, little by little because we want all the meat covered, then give another good massage and leave it at least 2 hours (over night better).

Since I am making this for a party, to add variety, I added 3 lb of boneless chicken. A mix of thigh and breast. Cut them thin just like the pork.
The authentic Taco Al pastor, comes with Pineapple, so clean and cut pineapple 3 slices.

You want to put a pineapple slice at the beginning, middle and end of the spit, because when you trim the meat, the blade of the knife doesn't hit the steel and it also will separate the pork and the chicken.

The authentic way to cook the meat is using a Trompo but since it’s a homemade we are going to use this OneGrill Heavy Duty Rotisserie kit.

Now it’s time to grill!
Prepare the girl by removing the grates before turning on the burner.
Using this plastic bag method keeps your hand clean!

Now you need to balance the meat, why? Because, this is going to puts less stress on the motor.

Rotate to Find the heavy side and then lock the counter weight in the opposite direction. And make sure it spins nicely before inserting into the motor.

Grab your extension cord and switch on.

Cook initially on a low temperature to make sure the outside of the meat doesn’t burn.

Using meat thermometer, check every half hour until the outside is done.
(that is 145 F for pork and 165F for chicken)

When it's cooked, trim the outside meat and serve while the rest of the meat cooks)

Get your favorite tortilla, flour or corn, add the meat, salsa, guacamole, you gotta have onion, cilantro, and you gotta finish it with that pineapple
as your final touch on your al pastor taco.

Now enjoy the sweetness, spiciness, smokiness from the meat, and if you like add a little bit of squeeze of lime at the very end of your tacos al pastor.

All the components are coming together to make a magical bite.

And that is how tacos al pastor is made.
