About Meat of pastor
Meat of Pastor, also known as "al pastor," is a flavorful Mexican pork dish that traces its origin to Lebanese shawarma techniques brought to Mexico in the early 20th century. Traditionally, the pork is marinated in a vibrant blend of chilies, achiote, garlic, and pineapple before being slow-cooked on a vertical spit, creating tender, caramelized layers. Packed with protein, it offers essential amino acids vital for muscle repair and energy. The marinade may provide antioxidants from spices and vitamin C from pineapple. However, depending on preparation, al pastor can be high in sodium and saturated fat. Typically enjoyed in tacos, it pairs well with fresh vegetables, cilantro, and lime for a balanced meal. Opting for lean cuts of pork and controlling portion sizes can make it a healthy indulgence while savoring its rich cultural and culinary heritage.
