Massage the marinade into the pork thoroughly, ensuring it penetrates well.

Cover the marinated pork with cling film or a lid and refrigerate for at least 5 hours or overnight.

Remove the cling film from the marinated pork after refrigeration.

Cut the marinated pork into small pieces.

Fry the chopped pork in a pan or on a griddle with very little oil (or no oil).

Optionally, add pineapple on top of the meat while cooking to release its juice.

Heat the corn tortillas while the meat cooks.

Serve the al pastor tacos with the cooked meat, pineapple, and other garnishes.
