Tacos de adobada

(Adobada tacos)

Tacos de adobada is a Mexican dish that's similar to tacos al pastor, but not the same. Both tacos al pastor and tacos de adobada refer to pork that's been marinated in a combination of spices, chili peppers, and vinegar. For al pastor, the pork is cooked on a vertical spit called a trompo, while the pork for tacos de adobada is usually cooked on a grill or braised on the stove.


However, in some places, such as in Baja California, people refer to al pastor as carne adobada. Adobada is usually made with pork shoulder, either thinly sliced when grilled or cut into chunks when braised. The tacos are usually topped with diced onions, radishes, cilantro, and lime juice.
