Full of pork, which of these Mexican dishes is akin to Lebanese shawarma (pictured here), and is described as a combo of "Middle Eastern spices with those indigenous to central Mexico"?

Al pastor is a taco made with spit-grilled pork, and is largely based on the shawarma brought by Lebanese immigrants to Mexico. While shawarma is made from lamb, al pastor features pork and is a popular street food that has become popular in the U.S. In some parts of Southern California, it's referred to as "taco de adobada".
