Top Pick
GRILL
10/10
Chile-marinated pork carved from a vertical spit, topped with pineapple, onion, and cilantro on small corn tortillas.
Why It Works
The vertical spit allows fat to baste the meat continuously while the exterior caramelizes; pineapple's bromelain tenderizes and its sugars create char.
Key Ingredients
pork shoulder
achiote paste
guajillo chiles
pineapple
onion
cilantro
corn tortillas
