NOTES

This marinade will be enough to flavor 3-5 pounds of meat. We use this mixture to flavor strips of pork that we skewer on kabobs and grill with pineapple for an al pastor type taco. Once grilled, we remove meat from skewers, cut into small pieces, and serve on tortillas with grilled pineapple — con todo (cilantro and onion) — and Joe’s Salsa Cremosa Verde and/or Habanero Cremosa. You can’t beat it!
