Tacos Al Pastor

Cultural Context

Tacos al Pastor originated from Lebanese immigrants in Mexico who brought the shawarma technique. The dish has evolved to include local ingredients, particularly the use of pineapple, which adds a unique sweetness. It is a popular street food in Mexico, often enjoyed with fresh toppings and salsas.
