Inspired by Mexico’s Lebanese culinary heritage, tacos al pastor traditionally feature spiced meat cooked on a vertical spit and served with pineapple. This home-style version uses chicken and is prepared in the oven.

How to make it?

1

Make the marinade

10 min

Blend the softened chili, garlic, vinegar, cumin, and ground coriander into a smooth marinade.

Marinate the chicken

60 min

Coat the chicken slices with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

3

Cook the chicken and pineapple

15 min

Cook the chicken in oil over medium-high heat for 10–12 minutes, until browned on all sides. Add the pineapple cubes and sauté for 3 more minutes.

4

Warm the tortillas

5 min

Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds.

5

Serve

Top the tortillas with the chicken and pineapple mixture, cilantro, and onion. Serve hot.

Reminder

Store the raw marinated chicken in the refrigerator for 1 day or in the freezer for 2 months. Store cooked chicken in the refrigerator for 2 days.
