Reviving an old(ish) thread, but i just stumbled on this post while researching how to make al pastor after watching the netflix doc on it. Everything here looks amazing. One thing that would appear to be missing from this particular recipe based on the pictures I'm seeing is that when the meat is sliced off it should hold relatively together in thin sheets. Maybe someone that has made this recipe could speak to that?

I also found this source for making al pastor at home:
https://www.seriouseats.com/2013/05/food-lab-tacos-al-pastor.html

They make a point regarding this and how the correct amount of salt needs to be used in order to get the layers of meat to sort of fuse together. Id love to hear ppl's thoughts on this relative to this recipe. I'm looking forward to trying this out in the coming weeks.....

IIRC there is one called 'Taco Chronicles'.

Yeah it was the taco chronicles, the first episode is al pastor. It was very well done.
