Let's Get Started

  1. In a bowl, combine the achiote paste, pineapple juice, white vinegar, minced garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.

  3. Preheat the grill or a skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Cook the marinated pork slices on the grill or skillet for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and slightly charred.
  5. Warm the corn tortillas on the grill or in a dry skillet for a few seconds on each side.
  6. Assemble the tacos by placing a few slices of cooked pork on each tortilla.
  7. Top with pineapple slices, chopped cilantro, and diced onion.
  8. Serve the tacos al pastor with lime wedges on the side.
  9. Enjoy!
