Al pastor isn't just a taco thang; the unique flavor can be translated into many a meal. Now, it's going in flautas like nobody's business; the crispy shell contrasts brilliantly with the tender meat inside, and the drizzle of cooling sour cream on top turns the amazing into the sublime. Al pastor can't just be confined to tacos; this meal proves it.

Cooking Guidelines
To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:
- Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
- Seafood 145° F |
- Chicken 165° F |
- Ground Beef 160° F |
- Ground Turkey 165° F |

Customize It Instructions
-
If using steak strips, follow same instructions as sliced pork in Steps 1 and 2, stirring occasionally until browned and steak reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes. Rest, 3 minutes.
-
If using diced chicken breasts or diced chicken thighs, pat dry. Follow same instructions as steak strips in Step 2, stirring occasionally until browned and chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes. Don't worry about trimming. Excess fat will render while cooking and add flavor.
