Oven Roasted Chicken Al Pastor Tacos
Oven Roasted Chicken Al Pastor Tacos
Bring one of Mexico’s most iconic taco flavours home with these Chicken Al Pastor Tacos. Inspired by the classic taquería trompo, our version stacks marinated chicken thighs with fresh pineapple before roasting until juicy and caramelised.
The result is everything you want from Al Pastor: sweet, tangy and packed with flavour, with a gentle chilli warmth and plenty of pineapple.
Carve straight from the stack and pile into warm Corn Tortillas with diced onion, fresh coriander and lime. A seriously comforting way to make Chicken Al Pastor at home - no trompo required.
- Chicken thighs, sliced
- 1 Gran Luchito Al Pastor Taco Recipe Kit
- 1 fresh pineapple
- Gran Luchito Corn Tortillas
- Diced white onion
- Fresh coriander
- Fresh lime
- Marinate: Coat the chicken thighs generously using our Al Pastor Taco Recipe Kit, making sure every piece is well covered.
- Stack: Use a thick round of pineapple as your base, then secure with soaked bamboo skewers. Stack the chicken tightly, adding slices of pineapple as you go, and finish with a final piece on top.
- Roast & Baste: Roast for around 1 hour, until the chicken is cooked through, caramelised and beautifully charred at the edges. Baste with the pan juices every 15 minutes or so, adding a splash of water if the marinade starts to dry out.
- Build: Carve the juicy chicken straight from the stack and pile into warm Corn Tortillas. Finish with diced onion, fresh coriander and a generous squeeze of lime.
