Al Pastor Inspired Tacos

Optionally make tortillas

1. Combine the nixtamalised corn flour and salt in a bowl then pour in the water and stir well until it resembles wet sand
2. Measure into 35g pieces and roll into rough balls
3. Press in a taco press between two sheets of baking paper like above
4. It’s possible to do this without a press but it requires a large pan or pot and a lot of strength/bodyweight

Cook tortillas

1. Homemade or shop bought - cook the tortillas in a very hot dry pan, flipping every 20 seconds until puffed up and a little golden
2. Stack under a clean tea towel to keep warm and stay soft

Cook tofu

1. Heat a generous drizzle of oil in a pan on a medium heat
2. Add crumbled tofu and a pinch of salt and fry 10-12 minutes stirring regularly until deep golden
3. Stir in the ground spices, soy sauce, marmite, chipotle, achiote and reserved pineapple juice (if using)
4. Cook for a further 2-3 minutes, coating and caramelising tofu
5. Keep warm

Assemble tacos

1. Fill tortillas with tofu “pork”, spoon on pineapple and onion, scatter coriander
2. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing and a drizzle of hot sauce or liquid tajin
