When preparing your pork, adding a good achiote and making sure the dried guajjilos are not old and totally dried out helps elevate the dish.
The nutty, slightly sweet, aromatic paste pairs perfectly with the savory pork. Dried guajillo chilies, another pastor marinade staple, are rehydrated with broth, bringing a smoky and subtle heat.
While a recipe as complex as an al pastor marinade may sound daunting, the key is to divide and conquer by making each component separately.
If you've ever enjoyed tacos al pastor at your local taqueria or an authentic Mexican street taco stand, it stands out not just because it is on a spit, but because it has a bright orange crust.
