Pineapple Pork Tacos al Pastor
Pineapple Pork Tacos al Pastor balance smoky dried chiles with bright acidity from vinegar and juicy bursts of pineapple. Tender slices of pork soak up a deep, earthy marinade accented by garlic, cumin, and achiote, then get tucked into warm corn tortillas with onion, cilantro, and lime. Perfect for a casual dinner, taco night with friends, or weekend grilling.
