Adobo Pork Tacos With Grilled Pineapple (Adobado) image

This makes flavorful tacos. Make sure to cut up some of the grilled pineapple and put it in your taco with the meat. I sometimes make this using my grill pan. Recipe from Tacos by Susan Curtis and Daniel Hoyer.

Time 3h30m

Yield 24 tacos

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 lbs boneless pork loin, cut in half-inch slices
1 medium white onion, chopped
2 ancho chilies, and
2 guajillo chilies, toasted, stemmed, and seeded
1 tablespoon puree chipotle chile in adobo
6 garlic cloves
1 1/2 ounces achiote paste
1/8 cup apple cider vinegar or 1/8 cup rice wine vinegar
2 teaspoons honey
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 cloves
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 fresh ripe pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut lengthwise in half-inch-thick slices, then lightly brushed with vegetable oil
corn tortilla

Steps:

  • Arrange slices of pork on a cutting board or smooth countertop between layers of plastic wrap. Using a meat-tenderizing mallet or a rolling pin, flatten the slices to form sheets about a quarter inch thick.
  • Place chiles, onion, garlic, achiote, vinegar, honey, cilantro, oil, water, cloves, salt, and pepper in a blender and puree smooth.
  • Spread mixture evenly over the sheets of pork and marinate in refrigerator for 1 to 3 hours. Remove from refrigerator 1/2 hour before cooking.
  • Preheat a charcoal or gas grill or oven broiler to produce a medium-high heat.
  • Place pineapple slices on grill alongside the marinated pork. Cook about 3 to 4 minutes on one side and turn over. Continue cooking until slightly charred and cooked through.
  • Remove from heat, cover and allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Cut pork in quarter-inch strips. Garnish: pineapple may be sliced small as well or served in large slices.
  • Arrange on soft corn tortillas and top with garnishes.
  • Serving suggestion: Serve with refried beans, Mexican rice and an assortment of condiments such as roasted jalapeno chiles, salsa, Mexican cheese, avocados, grilled onions, lime, and toasted oregano.

The adobo pork was a little dry, but the pineapple and salsa helped to balance it out.

I would recommend using less adobo sauce if you don't like spicy food.
