Ingredients:
🥓 2 tbsp pork lard
🧅 1/4 cup chopped onion
🧄 1 garlic clove (minced)
🫑 1 jar (24oz) salsa verde
🧂 Salt and pepper to taste
🌿 1/2 tsp crushed Mexican oregano
🌿 1/4 tsp cumin
🐷 1 bag (5oz) pork skin chicharrones
Instructions:
Prepare the Pan: Heat a medium-sized pan over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of pork lard and let it melt.
Sauté the Aromatics: Once the lard is hot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pan. Cook until the onion becomes transparent and fragrant.
Add the Salsa: Pour the entire jar of salsa verde into the pan. Rinse the jar with a little water to avoid waste and add it to the pan as well.
Season the Sauce: Stir in salt, pepper, crushed Mexican oregano, and cumin to taste. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
Incorporate the Chicharrones: Add the bag of pork skin chicharrones, ensuring they are fully submerged in the salsa. Stir occasionally so they absorb the sauce.
Final Touch: Allow the mixture to simmer until the chicharrones soften slightly but maintain some chewiness.
Serve and Enjoy: Optionally, garnish with chopped cilantro and serve the dish warm. Enjoy the chicharrones inside tacos, stuffed in gorditas, or on their own.
