About Carne al pastor
Carne Al Pastor is a flavorful Mexican dish celebrated for its bold spices and tender, juicy texture. Originating from Middle Eastern shawarma, it blends traditional Mexican flavors, with thinly sliced pork seasoned with chili peppers, garlic, cumin, oregano, and pineapple juice. The marinated meat is cooked on a vertical rotisserie, allowing the outside to caramelize while remaining succulent inside. Often served in tacos, it pairs deliciously with cilantro, onions, and fresh lime. Pineapple, used both in the marinade and as a garnish, adds natural sweetness and aids digestion due to its bromelain enzyme. While Carne Al Pastor is protein-rich and contains vitamins from the spices and citrus, it can be high in sodium and fat depending on preparation. Opting for leaner cuts or moderating portion sizes can help balance its nutritional qualities. This versatile dish is a vibrant expression of fusion cuisine and is best enjoyed in moderation.
