Tacos al Pastor

Steps

• 1

  Thinly slice the pork.
• 2

  Mix the rest of the pork ingredients in a large bowl. Mix the pork into the sauce.

  
• 3

  Line a loaf pan with foil and shingle the thin pork slices into the pan. Keep piling them on until all the pork is in the pan.

  
• 4

  Top with more foil and press down with another loaf pan. Put a heavy oven save item on top. Put this whole rig onto a sheet pan. Allow to marinade and press at room temperature for a half hour.

  
• 5

  Bake at 275°F for 3 and a half hours. Some fat will splash out of the pan, but the baking sheet should catch it.

  Meanwhile, make the slaw. Thinly slice the cabbage, jalapeños, and cucumber. Chop the cilantro. Put all of the ingredients into a large bowl and mix well. Allow to marinade for 30 minutes before serving.
• 7

  Let the pork rest about 15 minutes uncovered. Remove from the pan gently. Slice the pork. Some will fall apart and some wont, but it will all be delicious.
