Chef's Notes
Do not skip the pineapple juice in the marinade. It acts as a magical tenderizer while balancing the fiery smokiness of the dried chiles with a touch of royal sweetness.
Pro Tip
For the ultimate smoky flavor without a vertical spit, sear your marinated pork in a blazing hot cast-iron skillet until the edges achieve a delightful char.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Beware of turning the heat too high while melting the cheese, resulting in a carbonized tortilla shell while the inside remains stubbornly cold.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Why did the pork al pastor break up with the pineapple? Because it felt like it was just being used for tenderization.
The Culinary Science
The enzyme bromelain found in fresh pineapple breaks down tough collagen proteins in pork shoulder, transforming a potentially chewy cut into melt-in-your-mouth perfection.
