As Lebanese immigrants settled in Puebla in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, they influenced the region's cuisine. Tacos árabes feature a shawarma-style meat wrapped in a thick, pita-like flour tortilla, mexicanized with a salsa of ground chipotle. Ingredients:
2 lbs meat (pork or beef shoulder or leg) |
5 limes, juiced |
1 bunch parsley |
1 sprig mint (optional) |
1 sprig thyme |
mexican oregano (to taste) |
ground cumin (to taste) |
garlic (to taste) |
salt (to taste) |
splash vegetable oil |
Directions:
1. Mix well all the ingredients except the meat.
2. Marinate, refrigerated, overnight.
3. Drain the marinade.
4. Roast on a rotisserie, basting as needed, to an internal temperature of 140F (about three hours). Remove from spit and let meat rest to finish cooking, then slice thinly.
5. Serve wrapped in thick flour tortillas or pita bread, covered in chipotle sauce.
