Is there ever really such thing as ‘too much cheese’? Our family thinks not! Grab some of our Grain Free Taco Shells and lots of cheese and chicken to make this Cheesy Al Pastor Tacos recipe!

⁠

Al Pastor is a traditional Mexican dish typically made with pork that’s been marinated in chiles and pineapple juice, but feel free to use your favorite choice of protein. We want everyone to feel welcome at our table! So whether you’re cooking for one or you’re cooking for many, we’ve got you covered. We adore Al Pastor!

2 cups Shredded Cheese, Mozzarella & Cheddar Blend ⁠
2 Chicken Breasts, cut into small bite-size pieces⁠
4 tbsp Avocado Oil ⁠

Al Pastor Sauce

Heat a small pot with water and add guajillo chiles. Bring to a boil and shut off heat. Steep for 10 minutes and then drain. ⁠
Bake taco shells in a 350° F oven for 2-3 minutes. Set aside. ⁠
In a blender, combine all ingredients for al pastor sauce. Blend until smooth. ⁠
