Patricia Quintana Al Pastor Cooking Sauce, 2×16 oz Jars — Artisanal Mexican Marinade with Pineapple

Patricia Quintana Al Pastor Cooking Sauce is a ready-to-use, artisanal Mexican marinade and simmer sauce—made with ancho and guajillo chiles, pineapple and orange juices—to create authentic al pastor tacos, burgers, grilled chicken and more.

This two-jar set (2 × 16 fl oz) delivers a handcrafted al pastor base developed by Chef Patricia Quintana, blending smoky dried chiles, warm spices and fruit-forward acidity so you can recreate traditional flavors at home without long preparation. Small-batch production in Mexico and non-GMO ingredients preserve bright, layered tastes that work as both a marinade and a cooking sauce. The formula balances sweet and savory notes with a medium kick, letting you pour, marinate or simmer straight from the jar for fast weeknight meals or slow-roasted weekend feasts.

How do I use this sauce to make authentic al pastor at home?

Use the sauce three ways: as a quick marinade, a braising or simmering liquid, or a finishing glaze. Coat about 2 pounds of pork, chicken, shrimp, beef or vegetables and refrigerate for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight for deeper flavor development. During cooking, reserve some sauce to baste or warm separately to finish.

• Marinate 2 lb protein with 1 jar for 30 minutes to overnight.
• Sear or grill proteins, then simmer remaining sauce to make a glaze.
• Add pineapple slices or fresh orange zest to amplify fruit notes.

What flavors and ingredients are inside the jar?

The sauce combines dried ancho and guajillo chiles with toasted cumin, oregano and a hint of clove for depth. Real pineapple and orange juices bring natural sweetness and acidity, while non-GMO whole ingredients ensure a pure, handcrafted profile. No artificial flavors are used—just pantry-style components that mirror a traditional al pastor seasoning.

• Primary chiles: ancho and guajillo for smoky, fruity heat.
• Warm spices: cumin, oregano and a touch of clove for balance.
• Real fruit: pineapple and orange juices for natural sweetness and tenderizing effect.

Can I use this sauce for dishes besides tacos?

Absolutely—this al pastor sauce is versatile across proteins and preparations. It works equally well on burgers, grilled chicken, roasted vegetables, fish and shrimp, or as a braising liquid for pulled-meat sandwiches. The medium heat and fruit-forward profile make it a flexible seasoning for both quick meals and slow-cooked dishes.

• Make al pastor-style burgers or pulled pork sandwiches.
• Brush onto grilled chicken or shrimp for a smoky-sweet finish.
• Stir into roasted vegetables or use as a dipping sauce for quesadillas.
