I had been wanting to try this recipe for a while, and the three day Easter weekend was a good opportunity. There’s a local restaurant that makes Tacos Al Pastor and they also do a version with melted cheese they call the ‘El Gringo’. Unfortunately, since the pandemic they have not been making the ‘El Gringo’ and the Al Pastor tacos don’t hold together when you pick them up to go. You end up with a container full of loose meat and some tortillas. So, I’ve been wanting to learn how to make them. I also made some Yucatán-Style Pickled Red Onions in Sour-Orange Juice and picked up some guacamole for the tacos as well.
