You know they make small rotisseries and you can make this on a grill or oven.

Pic is al pastor that I made on the grill. Same concept but with mexican seasoned pork.

Al Pastor taco meat:
>Get a pork shoulder, should be around 4 pounds. You want a decent amount of fat on it, but not like one huge fat cap. Basically it should have a good mixture of fat and meat.
>Slice the shoulder across the grain into discs, each slice should be approximately ¼ inch thick.
>Put into a large bowl, massage meat with corn or sunflower oil
>Pour in a good amount of OJ and Pineapple juice, not exactly sure but I put in a good amount
>Squeeze in the juice from 1-2 limes
>Salt liberally and add cracked pepper
>Not sure on exact amounts but I added a lot of cumin, paprika, chipotle powder, garlic power, coriander
>I added small amounts of smoked paprika, cinnamon, nutmeg, oregano, and coffee
>1 packet of Sazon Achiote y Culantro, basically msg
>Mix all the spices evenly into the meat slices until everything is coated evenly in juice, oil, and spices
>Cut off a small piece of pork and toss it in a very hot pan. Taste the meat and see if it is seasoned enough, or if it needs any more juice, salt, spice, etc.
>Then marinate for 2+ hours
>After the meat has finished marinating begin to stack them on a skewer in order from largest diameter to smallest
>Then roast on a grill or in an oven until a good crust forms on the outside and the inner temp is rare, it will cook as it rests.
>Slice like gyro meat off the spit and serve
