TACOS AL PASTOR RECIPE VIDEO I recently shared in my Al Pastor Kabobs post, that I am obsessed with Al Pastor. When we go out, I usually order it in some form or another from authentic Tacos Al Pastor to Ada Haba Pina California Burrito (burrito with Al Pastor, pineapple, French fries, sour cream, guacamole, cheese, etc.) to Al Pastor Nachos. The combination of smoky, tangy, chile pork, with grilled pineapple is 1000X crave worthy so I knew I was up for a challenge to create a traditional al pastor tasting recipe that was homemade BUT, I think we have done just that and I can honestly say this is arguably one of the best homemade Al Pastor recipe out there....

Dip the fish slices into the batter and get them nicely coated. What is a Baja Fish Taco? A Baja-style fish taco is a taco filled with white fish that is battered and deep fried, usually topped with shredded cabbage and a creamy fish taco sauce. The recipe originated in Mexico, but grew popular in Baja, California, hence the name, and is heavily influenced by Mexican cuisine. What I love about Baja fish tacos is the crispness of the fried fish paired with the crunchiness of the slaw and the creamy taco sauce that’s just unbeatable when you put it all together....

I am a huge burrata fan. Whenever I see the Italian cheese on the menu, 90% of the time I order it.

Habanero peppers are ideal for infusions as they pack a great deal of heat and flavor, but you can realistically use any type of chili pepper, like the fabulous jalapeno or the smoky chipotle. Chili Pepper Vinegars are different from infusing alcoholic beverages with chili peppers only in that the vinegar is heated on the stove. Use at least 1 ounce of chili peppers for a quart sized storage container along with 16 ounces white vinegar, though you can use much more for a stronger infusion....
