In an extremely basic nutshell, al pastor is pork grilled on a spit.
The technique originated in central Mexico, and it is an original fusion food. Lebanese immigrants brought their vertical rotisserie cooking style to Mexico and combined it with Mexican flavors and chilis to make the al pastor we know and love today.

Butter
White onion
Garlic cloves
Chicken stock
Dried ancho chili peppers
Chipotle chili peppers in adobo sauce
Achiote paste (or powder)
