Instructions
-
1Blend chipotle, annatto paste, garlic, orange juice, lime juice, cumin, and oregano into a smooth marinade.
-
2Slice pork belly into ½-inch (1 cm) thick slices. Marinate for at least 30 minutes (better: 2 hours).
-
3Caramelize pineapple chunks in a pan without fat over high heat — about 3 minutes per side until lightly browned. Set aside.
-
4Sear marinated pork in a hot grill pan or skillet in batches over high heat, 3–4 minutes per side until browned and slightly crispy.
-
5Let cooked meat rest briefly, then finely chop or slice thin with a sharp knife.
-
6Finely dice onion, roughly chop cilantro.
-
7Warm corn tortillas directly over a gas flame or in a dry skillet briefly until soft and lightly toasted.
-
8Build tacos: meat, caramelized pineapple, onion, cilantro. Squeeze lime juice over.
-
9Drizzle Cannabis Coconut Oil cold over finished tacos — a light touch gives desired effect.
Pro Tips
- Annatto paste (achiote) gives the characteristic red color and earthy tone — available online or Asian markets.
- Al Pastor lives by the Maillard reaction: meat must be seared hot and dry, not braised.
- Add Cannabis Coconut Oil cold — its tropical flavor pairs beautifully with Mexican spices.
- For more heat: add more chipotle or a fresh serrano chili.
