Welcome back!

My name is Airam pronounced like “Eye-rum.”

Today I am showing you how to make Vegan Tacos “Al Pastor.”
I grew up around Tacos my entire youth. My parents own their very own Taco Truck where they sell various meats, one of them being Pastor. I worked in my parent’s taco truck ages 9-21. Working the register, working the tortillas & then eventually my last position was preparing the food! I would add cilantro, onion, salsa, all the toppings & wrap, then finally bag the food. I transitioned into Veganism at age 20.. so my dad’s taco magic was alwaaays an inspiration for me but non-vegan cooking was never a huge interest. Becoming Vegan really woke up a love & desire for cooking. It allowed me to be more creative. It’s a fun & beautiful challenge! I love veganizing old recipes from my childhood. This taco recipe was inspired by my parents. They are super easy to make, yet delicious as hell! I hope you enjoy this recipe, thank you!
