Chicharone Tacos

Posted by H&B on - Mexican - Easy

  • 1 package chicharones (deep fried pig skin, mmmmmmmmmm)
  • 4 roma tomatoes, small dice
  • 1 small red onion, small dice
  • 2-4 serrano chilies, sliced
  • 1 bunch of cilantro, sliced
  • 1 lime
  • 1 russet potato, peeled and diced small
  • lots of corn tortillas, warmed
  • 2 cups shredded lettuce
  • 6 oz cotija cheese, grated
  • salt and pepper

Mix all tomatoes, onion, chilies, chicharones, and potatoes in a large saute pan and heat through. Add salt and pepper to release liquid from the vegetables. Cook until the chicharones have re-hydrated but still have a little firmness to them. Adjust seasonings, squeeze on the lime juice, and serve family style in a large bowl or platter with sides of tortillas, lettuce, cheese, and salsas. It's quick, substantial, and soooooooo good. P.S. Don't use that little package of sauce that comes with the chicharones, it's no bueno.
