Mexican-Style Pork Tacos (Tacos Al Pastor)
Here is what you'll need!
Homemade Al Pastor
Serves 10-12
INGREDIENTS
5 pounds boneless pork shoulder
3 tablespoons achiote paste
2 tablespoons guajillo chili powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon 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 rounds
1 thick wooden skewer, trimmed to the height of your oven
10-12 small corn tortillas
1 white onion, chopped finely
1 cup cilantro, chopped finely
1 cup salsa of your choice
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C.
Slice the pork shoulder into about 1-cm slices, then transfer to a large dish or bowl.
In a bowl, combine the achiote powder, 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, then toss the pork slices to make sure that they are all coated on all sides. Wrap the dish/bowl in cling film then marinate the pork for at least 2 hours, up to 3-5 days in the refrigerator.
On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil, place down a slice or two of the pineapple. 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 gap at the top. Push another pineapple slice on top.
Bake for about an hour and a half, until slightly charred on the outside and deep red.
Rest the meat for about 10 minutes, then carve off thin slices of the pork.
Slice off thin pieces of the roasted pineapples as well.
To assemble and serve, place some pork on the tortillas, followed by a few pieces of pineapple, a sprinkle of onions, a pinch of cilantro, then a small spoonful of the salsa.
Enjoy!

This bowl of Pico de Gallo is so dang good it’ll have you crowing like a rooster ????????️
Back in the day I used to make the pico for our family barbecues. My grandma used to tell me it was the best recipe she ever had. So good in fact, that there would have to be TWO whole bowls because I would eat an entire on myself ????
In this video I’m gonna share the authentic, restaurants style and homemade recipe we use for our favorite snack and condiment – PICO DE GALLO!
My personal pro tip here is to use SERRANOS instead of jalapeños to take the heat up a few notches. And the best part of this recipe is you can adjust all the ingredients to you personal preferences.
You can add more tomato, less onion, double the chile or omit the cilantro – whatever you and your friends and family like, it can be done easily in this delicious recipe.
Ingredients
9 Roma Tomatos
1/2 White Onion
3 Whole Serranos (or Jalapeños for less heat)
1 Head of Cilantro (chopped)
1 Large Lime
2 tsp Sea Salt
And your favorite bag of chips

Two TAQUERIA STYLE SALSA Recipes | Traditional Green & Red Jalapeño for Tacos
The quest for salsa nirvana continues.
Getcha Some APC BBQ Rubs Here:
In this video we’re making a traditional salsa verde and a salsa roja. Both of these are estilo Monterrey, MX and courtesy of my good friend Ruben “El Borrego” Rios who made these for us during one of our epic bbq classes. Gracias Compadre!
For our salsa verde we’re gonna use seven tomatillos, three green jalapenos, two cloves of garlic, a head of cilantro and 2 tsp APC OG – which is salt pepper and garlic. This is a boiled salsa that is rich in flavor and can be a great base for other recipes like enchiladas suizas or just for topping tacos and your favorite plates.
Now the salsa roja is a little bit different but just as amazing. This recipe calls for seven red jalapeños, five roma tomatoes, two garlic cloves, seven chile de arbol, 2 tsp of APC OG and while blending…2 tablespoons of olive oil. This gives the salsa roja a creamy, smooth texture that is delicious with chips, some loaded ribs or any grilled meats.
Let’s fire it up and make some salsas! Yee hawwww
