AL PASTOR
When Lebanese immigrants settled in the city of Puebla, Mexico, 50 years ago, they arrived with a lamb specialty called shawarma, made by stacking sliced meat in a cone shape, cooking it on a spit and carving it off with a large knife. In the 1960s, their children swapped out the lamb for pork, created a marinade from local ingredients�dried chilies and achiote�and piled the meat on corn tortillas to create a new dish.

Ingredients Marinated, grilled pork; pineapple; chopped cilantro and onions
