How to Make Tacos Al Pastor
Soak Chilies: Start by placing the guajillo and ancho chilies in hot water for 15 minutes.
Blend Marinade: Combine soaked chilies, achiote paste, garlic, whole cloves, cumin, oregano, thyme, and pineapple juice in a blender. Blend until smooth.
Marinate Pork: Coat pork shoulder chunks with the blended marinade and salt. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
Prepare Pineapple: Cut fresh pineapple into chunks roughly the same size as the pork pieces.
Skewer Meat: Thread pork chunks onto skewers, alternating with pineapple chunks.
Grill: Preheat grill until smoking hot. Grill skewers for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally.
Slice Meat: Let pork rest, then slice into small bites while warm.
Warm Tortillas: Warm corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side.
Assemble Tacos: Place sliced pork in each tortilla, top with onion, cilantro, and pineapple. Serve with lime wedges.
