The Pineapple Al Pastor Blend combines chipotle and guajillo chiles with roasted pineapple for a unique seasoning. It has a red-orange color with yellow specks, reflecting the peppers and pineapple in the mix. The scent is a mix of smoky and sweet, with a hint of tanginess.
Inspired by Mexican al pastor flavors, this blend allows for the recreation of the dish's signature taste in various meals without needing special cooking equipment. It works well for marinating meats like pork, chicken, or fish, providing a smoky sweetness that's ideal for grilling or roasting. This blend can also enhance vegetables, tacos, and pizzas with its distinctive flavor.
For application, rub onto meats before cooking to infuse them with flavor, or add to sauces and salsas for extra depth. A sprinkle on top of dishes can also add visual and taste appeal, blending traditional al pastor elements with a contemporary touch.
