Directions
- Judy et al., here's the translation of the original Spanish recipe I have for Tacos Al Pastor...This recipe assumes you do not have a "trompo", so it is not the real deal, but as close as one can get.
- Preparation:1. Clean the peppers and simmer them in the vinegar till they are soft.
- Add in remaining ingredients and puree. If it is too thick, add in some more vinegar.
- 2. Return to stove and bring to a boil, stirring continuosly so as not to burn it. When it reaches boiling point, remove from heat and allow to cold.
- 3. Spread adobo over each of the pork slices, layering the pcs on top of each other forming a neat pile. Cover and let sit for at least 5 hrs in refrigerator.
- 4. Add in a little bit of oil to a warm pan/skillet, and sear each piece of meat on both sides. When done searing all the meat, chop it into small
- (1/8") pcs and return to skillet, this time adding the onion and the pineapple pcs or possibly juice. Let it simmer for a couple of min, the wonderful smell will let you know when it is done!
- Goes great with home-made corn tortillas.
