Tacos Al Pastor

Taken all the way down to base materials, a batch of 3 Tacos Al Pastor is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Dark Rye Flour ×1 and Ut'ohmu Chili Sauce ×1 — which resolve to 7 distinct raw materials totalling 17 units, plus 32 crystals.

That bill outweighs 7,161 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 967 of the 1,058 Culinarian ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 16 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 16 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 24 Fire Crystal and 8 Water Crystal.

Every step is Culinarian work, from a Lv 81 intermediate up to the Lv 96 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

6 of the 7 raw materials come out of the ground, and one of them is time-gated: Lemonette (6:00, 18:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 12 Eorzean hours, about 35 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Dark Rye Flour has the widest use: 23 recipes call for it, all of them Culinarian recipes.
