As with all The Smokey Carter rubs and sauces, they have been heavily influenced by their travels around the world. Mexico plays a major role in several of the BBQ rubs, such as Mexican Jalapeno and Lime Rub and Smokey Chipotle BBQ Rub.
Al Pastor is one you can't ignore and is one of the most popular taco fillings in Mexico, and a street food staple. Originally brought to Mexico by the Lebanese, this shawarma-style pork is cooked on a vertical spit with pineapple capping off the meat. The juices from the pineapple drip down the meat as it cooks, and the enzymes help tenderise the meat as it cooks.
This rub has been developed using some of the more traditional spices such as cumin, ancho chilli, guajillo chilli, Mexican oregano, achiote (from the annatto seed), and coriander. It also includes vinegar powder to help recreate the enzymes from the pineapple. As the meat cooks on the spit, it develops an amazing orange-red colour, which is from this unique spice blend and the achiote. Once grilled on the spit, the meat is then carved into a soft corn tortilla and served with fresh coriander, pineapple, and onion, and then topped with your choice of traditional salsa and sauces. We love salsa verde, queso fresco, hot sauce, fresh coriander, and a squeeze of lime.
All of The Smokey Carter seasonings are very versatile! They work just as well sprinkled over chicken breast and pan-fried in a little oil. You can also dust it over steak, chicken kebabs, or use it as a seasoning for roast chicken.
