Preparation

40 mins

Low

Grill the garlic with skin, onion, clove, cumin, and pepper on a low flame for 3-5 minutes without burning them, so they release some aroma. Once grilled, remove from the grill, peel the garlic, and set aside. Blend the ingredients that were cooked on the grill, the chiles, add the Del Fuerte® Natural Tomato Puree, pineapple juice, achiote, apple cider vinegar, and season to taste. Add the chicken strips to a deep bowl and marinate with the sauce for 1 hour. Heat a skillet over high heat with a little oil and fry the marinated chicken strips until cooked. Once cooked, remove from heat and they are ready to serve in tacos. Heat the tortillas, add the chicken strips on top, pineapple slices, and add some onion and cilantro to accompany.

Presentation

You can serve the tacos traditionally with cilantro, chopped onion, and grilled pineapple. If you prefer a tangier flavor, you can accompany it with a little lime, and for spiciness, you can serve it with the typical red sauce.

Tips

The pastor sauce contains achiote among its ingredients, which gives the meat its characteristic reddish color. You can change the sauce ingredients as they may vary depending on the region where they are prepared.
