My Pork Pastor with Dos Haches Chili Sauce is a spin on a classic Mexican favorite. Achiote (Seeds from an Annotto Tree) is the key to achieving a beautiful color and a signature taste.
Ingredients:
1 Pack of Achiote Paste (3.5oz) Mexican food store
1 Can Pineapple Chunks in Juice (20oz)
3/4 Cup White Vinegar
1/4 Cup Dos Haches Chili Sauce
1/2 TBSP Chili Powder
1 TBSP Dried Oregano or Marjoram
1 TBSP Garlic Powder
1 TBSP Onion Powder
1/2 TBSP Black Pepper (Ground)
1 Tbsp Kosher Salt
5# Diced Pork Shoulder
How to put it together:
1) Slice pork very thin or dice small and set aside in container or sous vide (food safe) bag.
2) Blend all other ingredients in Vita-Mix or blender. Pour over pork and let marinate from 2-24 hours.
3) Cook on an oiled hot flat top grill or pan until caramelized and a deep rich color is reached. Use in quesadillas, tacos or anyway you choose.
