Tacos al Pastor

Used two pounds of pork shoulder sliced into 1/4 inch thick pieces and marinated them in a mixture of garlic, oregano, cumin, pepper, cloves, guajillo chilies, pineapple juice, white vinegar and achiote paste. I let the pork soak over night.

Here is everything waiting for the grill to get hot

Pineapple and onions on the grates to start the party

Time for the pork to get on the grates....next time I need to scrape some of the marinade off

It's a fast cook, maybe two minutes per side

Time to make some tacos

Thank you all for looking!
 
Those are some great looking tacos. I've never thought to put pineapple in tacos but will have to give that a try.
 
Wow James, that looks fantastic. I love Taco al Pastor. Now that I've seen it can be done on the BBQ, it's now a gotta do.

When you have some time, can you break down the quantities of this?
