Tacos Al Pastor

Tacos Al Pastor

Tacos Al Pastor are a great way to lighten up traditional Mexican tacos because the flavor comes from a juicy pineapple marinade instead of loads of fatty toppings.

Pork tenderloin cubes are tenderized by sweet pineapple juice and packed with bold flavors like earthy cumin, spicy cilantro and hot chili powder. You can cook the meat in a hot skillet or on the grill then load it into warm flour tortillas.

Top your tacos with fresh lettuce, radishes, cilantro, onions and queso fresco – a mild Mexican cheese made from cow’s milk.
