Carne Asada Tacos or Al Pastor Tacos

I have had great success preparing tacos this way. I bought this recipe from a taqueria owner (taco restaurant) in Mexico City. I am translating the directions. It can be used for beef, pork, or just about any other type of meat. The spice mix on this recipe gives meat a really excellent flavor.

Home-style Tacos al Pastor (Chile and Pineapple Pork Tacos)

Home-style tacos al pastor (chile and pineapple pork tacos) are a favorite in Mexico and Mexican restaurants throughout the world for good reason: The mixture of smoky, spicy chiles, sweet pineapples, fresh onions, and cilantro is taco perfection. Tacos al pastor are typcially made by marinating pork in chile sauce, layering the meat on a vertical rotisserie, adorning it with a pineapple, and roasting it slowly for hours — a process that's almost impossible to replicate at home. So we've taken the delicious, authentic flavors that make these tacos so special and adapted the recipe for your home kitchen so you can enjoy it whenever a craving strikes!

Best Ever Carne Asada Marinade

This traditional Mexican carne asada marinade recipe will marinade 5 or 6 pounds of meat and can be easily halved or doubled. I've tried many carne asada recipes through the years, and this one outshines them all. The flavors are the most flavorful and authentic and the meat is pull-apart tender. I suggest marinating overnight for the best results. Muy delicioso!

Aguachile

I first tried aguachile when I was visiting Ajijic in Jalisco, Mexico. Ajijic is a quaint town next to Chapala Lake, the largest freshwater lake in Mexico. I fell in love with this spicy, cold dish, made with freshly caught shrimp marinated in a serrano-lime juice mixture and topped with fresh red onions, avocados, and cucumbers. This will keep for up to two days in the refrigerator but is best served within one hour. Serve it with tostadas on the side and an optional ice-cold Mexican beer to tame down the heat.
