Serve as is or transfer the meat to a foil-lined sheet pan and broil in the oven for several minutes to crisp up the edges. Cover and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours, or on HIGH for 4 hours. Place the marinated pork and marinade in the crockpot. It's also fair to say there will never be a "best" purveyor. Slow Cooker Al Pastor: Marinate the chunks of pork for 6-8 hours. It's almost no exaggeration to say there are tacos al pastor being sold on every street corner in Mexico, particularly in the eponymous capital. Make Marinade: Add softened chiles and ¼ cup of the water from the pot (discard the rest) to a high powdered blender with onion, garlic cloves, allspice, peppercorn, cloves, Mexican oregano, cumin, ginger, achiote powder, salt, apple cider vinegar, and juice. The introduction of pineapple, however – a key ingredient and a somewhat bizarre addition – remains a mystery. As the practice spread through Mexico, pork replaced the lamb, traditional spices and chillies began to be used as a marinade, and corn tortillas replaced the pita. In a medium bowl, combine the achiote paste, chili powder, garlic powder, oregano, cumin, salt, pepper, vinegar, and pineapple juice, mashing and stirring until. In the city of Puebla in the 1930s, street stalls began peddling "tacos arabes", or Arabian tacos, in which roast lamb was carved from a vertical spit and served in pita bread with various toppings. When a wave of Lebanese migrants began arriving in Mexico in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, they brought with them the practice of roasting meat on a vertical spit, in the way of the Middle Eastern shawarma, the Turkish doner and Greek gyros. As with so many of the world's great dishes, Al Pastor tells a story of history and migration. ![]()
