Chicharron en Salsa Verde
Report
You will want cracklins from pork, duck or goose to make this recipe. You can buy them in Latin markets, in Cajun markets and in some specialty markets, but mostly you will make this recipe after rendering some lard or duck fat yourself.

Ingredients
- 1 pound cracklins from pork, duck or goose, cut or broken into bite-sized pieces
- 1 recipe salsa verde (see notes)
- 4 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 1/2 cup diced white onions
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- Cotija cheese, crumbled, for garnish
- 18 corn tortillas
Instructions
- Pour your salsa over the cracklins in a pot, cover the pot and bring to a simmer for 20 minutes. You might need to add a little water or stock to keep it from sticking. You want the mixture to be stiff enough to not splooge out of a taco, though. You can cook your cracklins for more than 20 minutes if you want a softer texture.
- Heat up your tortillas and make your tacos! Top with cilantro, the onions soaked in the lime juice and cotija cheese.
Notes
- NOTE: This is the salsa verde recipe you will need to make this.
