Tripas is a traditional Mexican ingredient that’s used in many dishes. In English, tripas are known as chitterlings and consist of the small intestines of farm animals such as cows, goats, and pigs. In Mexican cuisine, tripas are enjoyed on their own, and are also served in dishes like tacos.

Ingredients
- 4 lbs cleaned tripas
- 8 trips thick-cut bacon
- 3 onions
- 2 medium-sized tomatoes
- 1/4 cup garlic powder
- 1/4 cup paprika
- vegetable oil for cooking
- salt and pepper to taste
- optional tortillas and other toppings
Instructions
- Bring water to boil in a large pot. Add the tripas and boil for 45 minutes, ensuring that the tripas are fully submerged.
- Add the onions, bacon, tomatoes, garlic powder and paprika.
- Continue to boil the tripas until most of the water has evaporated.
- The fat will start to render and the tripas will begin to fry in their own fat. Continue to stir so it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pot.
- Remove from the pot and cut them into two-inch pieces.
- Add oil into a skillet over medium heat. Then add tripas and fry, stirring occasionally, until crisp to your liking. Season with salt and pepper.
- Remove the tripas from the pan and drain on paper towels. Pat with additional paper towels to remove the excess oil. Serve with tortillas and your favorite toppings.
