Pork Loin Tacos
Rotisserie Pork Loin Tacos with Avocado Relish
Calories per serving:
Ingredients
- 1 pork loin
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 clove garlic, chopped fine
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
- 1 teaspoon chipotle powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 8 large corn tortillas
- Avocado Relish
- Cilantro Onion Relish
Instructions
- Mix the lemon juice with the spices in a large bowl. Put the pork in the bowl, turning it so that all surfaces have some marinade. Place in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 2 hours, turning occasionally.
- Remove the pork loin from the marinade and place it securely in the rotisserie. Rotisseries differ by manufacturer, so you will have to consult your manual to find out how to do this.
- Heat the rotisserie to 425 and set it for 35 minutes. Check the meat with an instant-read thermometer, if it has not reached 145 degrees, then put it on for another 10 minutes. When the meat is done on the thermometer, turn the rotisserie off and let the meat rest for about 5 minutes.
- While the meat is resting, you can warm the tortillas. Be sure to put them in a tortilla keeper so they stay warm.
- Remove the meat from the rotisserie, and slice it into 1/2 inch thick slices. Put it in a nice bowl for serving.
- Serve with the warm tortillas,
- Avocado Relish
- and
- Cilantro Onion Relish
- Have sour cream and hot sauce available.
- Quick notes
- If you are going to put this on the rotisserie or the barbecue, throw out the marinade. if you are going to use the oven, keep the marinade.
Notes
Variations
If you don't have a rotisserie, this meat is lovely prepared on the Weber. Just make sure you use the indirect cooking method.
If you don't want to put it on the barbecue, you can preheat the oven to 350, and put a cast-iron skillet on the burner on high heat. Sear the meat on all sides, then put it in the oven, with the marinade, and roast until done.
