Instructions

Heat oil in a non-stick skillet. Add onion and cook until translucent, about 2 minutes.
Add flour and cook for another 2 minutes while stirring.
Add the salsa and cook until it boils.Add the chicharrónes and broth or water and let come to a boil again and then remove from the heat. Add more broth or water till desired consistency.
Allow the chicharrones to absorb the salsa before serving, about 30 minutes.
Heat corn tortillas on a griddle. Fill with the chicharrónes and serve with chopped onions, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.

Notes

If possible, opt for freshly fried pork skins. They have a superlative texture that’s crisp on the outside, chewy on the inside, and typically have some extra meat bits on them that are.
The flavor of your salsa is going to determine the flavor of your pork rind tacos. Make sure you choose one that you really enjoy!
The longer this dish sits, the softer (and mushier) the chicharrones will get. As such, I recommend eating it soon after you prepare it.
