Because we love tacos al pastor, we have created a completely original and different version: a delicious and juicy pineapple stuffed with al pastor meat, wrapped in bacon so juicy that you will love it, served with tortillas, onion, cilantro, and a taquería sauce.

Preparation

30 mins

Low

Preheat the oven to 180° C. Blend the guajillo chili with the achiote paste, vinegar, orange juice, garlic powder, pepper, oregano, and salt. Pour the previous preparation over the meat and marinate for 20 minutes. In a skillet over low heat, add the oil, cook the meat for 10 minutes or until cooked. Set aside. On a cutting board, peel the pineapple, leaving the crown, hollow out the pineapple with the help of a knife and spoon, fill the pineapple with the meat, wrap with bacon slices, and secure with toothpicks. Bake for 20 minutes until the bacon is golden, turning occasionally. Slice and serve with onion, cilantro, and tortillas.
