Is the pork loin meat?  How did you make your Adobo sauce and how long did you let it soak?  Looks yummy for sure!!!

 

[bratrules]

Thats actually pork butt that i thin sliced. and as for the adobo it is,Chili ancho and chipotle, with some vinger and black pepper, fresh garlic, and salt. blend it all with pineapple juice and orange juice. let it sit for about 6 hours!!

Wow i love those. Couldn't i just use the adobo from chipotles & get close to the same affect??

 

[bratrules]

I think it will be a bit to spicy i also smoke my own chipotle chili's i use a bit different recipe for that adobo. but hey if you like it hot go ahead and give it a shot!!

Now I could eat maybe a dozen of those little beauties for sure. I really like the home made adobo sauce. Thats a keeper for sure.

I'm telling you those tacos look awesome!

Last spring we made and sold some pork and chicken tacos very similiar to that except with a special avocado slaw my wife makes... had a line around the block!

That marinade looks fantastic though, i'll have to remember that one!

Thanks for sharing.

If the weather stays nice this weekend I am going to give this one a try, Al Pastor tacos are one of my favs.  There is a great taco truck down the street from my work that sells some of the best I have had.  Thanks for sharing the recipe!!!

 

[bratrules]

give them a try if you can marinade overnight even better!!!
