Pork Al Pastor Tacos

3548 reviews
All the flavors of a taco truck in your very own kitchen! These tacos are made in the traditional Mexican style of slow-roasting an adobo-rubbed pork shoulder. Chef Akhtar serves the tender, smoky pork on soft corn tortillas and tops them with sweet cubed pineapple and zesty salsa verde.

Very glad to see that there are now 4 torillas included (last time, I only received 3). Very tasty meal. I prepare this one at home, as I can't grill the torillas at work.
