    1 White Onion (sliced lengthwise; and mixed with a little salt)
    instructions For the Pork Tacos: Marinate the pork by rubbing the adobo marinade onto the surface of the pork.

  • step 3
    ingredients  
    instructions Make the trumpo (NOTE: the pastor should be slow cooked/grilled using an upright rotisserie, called a trumpo, or some fashion of slow rotisserie grilling. However, 4 pounds is not enough to make this, nor is it common in a person's kitchen. Therefore, alternatively it can be cooked as stated below, but the juiciness and flavor will not be the same.)
  • step 4
    ingredients 15 fresh Nixtamal Corn Tortillas
    instructions Place the pork, pineapple and onions on an open grill. Grill at a heat of about 300 degrees. When the meat is thoroughly cooked, slice in thin pieces along with the pineapple and onions. Heat your tortilla over a hot flat surface. Place al pastor in your corn tortilla, topped with cilantro, onions, fresh chopped pineapple and salsa. Makes about 2 pounds of filling, for about 15 tacos.
