'Al pastor' = "Shepherd style"

'Al pastor' = "Shepherd style" recipe. Is a dish developed in México, likely as a result of the adoption of the Shawarma spit-grilled meat brought by Lebanese immigrants to Mexico. Having derived from the Shawarma, it is also similar to the Turkish döner kebap and the Greek gyros which is also based on the döner. Whereas those dishes are usually lamb-based (thus the "shepherd style" name), tacos al pastor in Mexico are usually made from pork.

Los Tacos al pastor (dicho en el centro y sur de méxico) , son un tipo de tacos en los que se combina la carne de cerdo y la carne de ternera, en la actualidad (sobre todo en el centro de México) se acostumbra también hacerlos únicamente con carne de cerdo. Además la carne es sazonada con cebolla y piña, además de un condimento tradicional con achiote, especias y chiles rojos molidos.

Les Tacos au berger (propos dans le centre et le sud du Mexique), sont un type de tacos dans lesquels on combine la viande de porc et la viande de génisse, actuellement (surtout dans le centre du Mexique) s'habitue aussi les faire uniquement avec viande de porc. La viande est assaisonnée en outre avec oignon et ananas, outre un condiment traditionnel avec rocouyer, épices et les Chilis rouges broyés.

Tacos al pastor (řekl v centrální a jižní Mexiko), je druh tacos, které kombinují vepřové a hovězí maso, dnes (především v centrálním Mexiku) jsou většinou také je pouze s vepřovým masem. Kromě ostřílených maso s cibulí a ananasem, a tradiční s achiote koření, mleté koření a červených chilli.
