McCormick Al Pastor Seasoning Mix, 0.75 oz Packet

There are many types of authentic Mexican tacos. The most classical and popular are tacos al pastor. Pork meat seasoned overnight with some of the most flavorful peppers (not spicy). They are accompanied by sliced onions or pineapple. Making the sauce is a pain in the neck and you need a few types of peppers. This little envelope has enough sauce to create the typical flavor. You wrap the meat in a corn tortilla, add a bit of cilantro, and a spicy sauce, and you are transported to flavorful Mexico.

Okay, so I really loved this seasoning. Took the guess work out of trying to find the exact blend for al pastor. Was the perfect amount of seasoning and I was able to make a delicious dinner at a fraction of the cost of buying takeout or going out to eat. McCormick has outdone itself with this! I absolutely recommend to anyone.

I was excited to try this spice mix. I'm a big fan of Al pastor, but I've never really known how to make it or what spices exactly to use. I keep a limited spice cabinet due to storage space, so it was nice to find a seasoning packet for al pastor! I haven't really seen one before. Overall I liked the flavor, but it was a bit salty for my tastes, so I'd probably use less next time I try it to minimize that. I'd recommend it though!

Was very surprised by this Al Pastor seasoning mix. Not being something I typically buy I got it to make pork tacos. The combination of spices and and pineapple was very complementary to the meat of the dish and my family will fo sure ask me to make it again!

haven't used it the way suggested with pork.i don't like pork...i made ground turkey tacos/burritos, and you can also use this with chicken and ground beef. Im looking to try other dishes with this...The tacos good, it does have a smoke chili flavor...more than regular taco flavor packet... The flavor iS vibrant f bold with just a mild hint of heat. Granted I adore spicy food, so what isn't spicy to me n might be to others.

I have never had Al Pastor before, so I did not have any expectations as to what they should have tasted like. That being said, my family and I loved it. I used it with a combination of ground beef and ground pork to make tacos. It had a lot of flavor and a little kick of heat, but it was bearable. My little ones ate it with no problem. I will definitely buy this seasoning blend again.

First of all I'd like to say that in general I liked the McCormick Al Pastor Seasoning Mix. What is important for me is the ingredients list and only after is the taste. All the ingredients are natural including the flavor. As for the taste, it is not bad. Even if the package states that the sodium amount is 13% of DV (that is actually a lot), personally me didn't find it salty enough. What I don't like is the added pineapple juice. Yes, it gives the taste of the original Al Pastor tacos but I would prefer to add the real fruit instead

This seasoning has good flavor and is great for a quick meal night. I would not compare it to authentic al pastor as that would be an insult to mexican food but I would still highly recommend this seasoning. Instead of using sliced pork we used ground pork and it was great. There was a hint of heat to it but not an overwhelming amount as my toddler still devoured his burrito anyway. I will definitely be purchasing more of this seasoning to keep on hand and to try on other things.

If you love spicy food, this seasoning is definitely for you! I was going to try it on my meat the other day, but thank God I didn't use it because WOW—it is really spicy! 😂🌶️ In our house, we don't really do spicy food, so this one was definitely too much for us. But if you love a good kick and enjoy spicy flavors, this seasoning would be perfect for adding some heat to your meat. The flavor is really good—you just have to be ready for the spice! 🔥

1 star is far to high for this seasoning. I've had chicken al pastor at chiptole and they've been advertising it lately. So when I saw this i thought YUM! I can make it at home. WRONG! The smell was nauseating and the taste was worse. I ruined 2lbs of chicken breasts. Don't waste your money.
