Braised Oxtail Al Pastor Taco Recipes

SHORTCUT TACOS AL PASTOR WITH PINEAPPLE SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler.
• Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until almost smoking. Add half of the onions and cook until softened, about 1 minute. Stir in the garlic, chiles, orange juice, vinegar, honey and tomato paste and bring to a simmer. Add the cumin and oregano and continue to simmer, about 5 minutes, covered. Remove from the heat and cover until the chiles are softened, about 5 minutes. Blend until smooth. Let cool completely.
• Line a baking sheet with foil, drizzle some oil on it and rub it around so that the foil is evenly coated. Spread the pork in an even layer. Coat both sides completely with the chile mixture with a pastry brush and transfer to the broiler. Cook until charred on both sides, flipping halfway through, about 12 minutes total. Remove from the broiler and let rest for 5 minutes. Wrap the tortillas in foil, turn off the oven and heat the tortillas.
• Meanwhile, combine the pineapple, cilantro, remaining onions, lime juice, habanero and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl.
• Cut the pork into 1/4-inch-thick strips and serve with the corn tortillas, lime wedges and pineapple salsa.
