Al Pastor Diced Pork Shoulder

"On a warm day or busy evening, cooking (read: heating up the kitchen) becomes exponentially less appealing— but you still need to feed your crew. What to do? Pick up a few packages of Trader Joe’s Pork Al Pastor! Inspired by the flavorful meat offered at taco carts and meat markets across Southern California, our buyer made it his mission to develop a delicious, exclusive-to-Trader Joe’s marinade for this quick-cooking addition to our fresh meat case—and it truly delivers!

Tender Diced Pork Shoulder is bathed in a citrus & pineapple juice marinade, along with guajillo peppers and a suite of classic seasonings, including oregano and cinnamon—you won’t find artificial flavorings or filler ingredients here. It’s impossibly easy to prep; just open and cook in a pan or on a plancha for 6-8 minutes, until the pork begins to render and gets slightly crispy). The mouthwatering, savory-meets-tangy Pork shines in a street taco setting (we’ll take this opportunity to drop a PSA for Corn & Wheat Tortillas as a preferred pairing partner), and also makes for a palate-popping addition to a bed of salad greens, burrito bowl, or quesadilla."
