What Is Taco Al Pastor?
Originating in central Mexico, Taco Al Pastor is inspired by Middle Eastern shawarma, adapted with Mexican spices and ingredients. Pork is marinated in a blend of dried chilies, spices, vinegar, and achiote, then roasted on a spit called a trompo. This unique cooking method creates meat that is juicy, flavorful, and slightly caramelized on the edges.
