Cochinita pibil tacos

Cochinita pibil is a traditional dish from the Yucatán Peninsula, renowned for its deep, smoky flavors and ancient cooking method. Traditionally, this dish is prepared by marinating pork in achiote and citrus, then wrapping it in maguey leaves and slow-cooking it underground for hours, resulting in a tender, flavorful meat. This recipe is for cooking at home in the oven.

This is our favorite taco, perfect for weekends and gatherings. The marinade and slow-cooking process make even cheaper cuts of pork tender and rich in flavor.
