How to make chicharrone tacos?
I am a lover of Mexican food, or any spicy food for that matter. I lived in San Antonio a while back and fell in love with the Tex-Mex food. Just the other day I was thinking I'd like to have some tacos de chicharrones. But have forgotten how to cook the pork rinds and what all to add. Can someone please give me the receipe? How do I make the homemade tortillas, also?
Answers: first of all, emiril wouldn't know how to make them, and to that ian person, you don't know what you are talking about! This is how my dad makes it (he's from Mexico, Zacatecas to be exact) Go to a mexican supermarket and buy some pork rinds, some chiles verdes like serrano peppers, tomatillos (the green tomatoes) and an onion to make the salsa. to make the tortillas you need to go to a tortilleria where they make the tortillas and buy "masa para tortillas". you boil the tomatillos (about six of them) and the serrano peppers (about 4 of them), while you are boiling, in a frying pan you add a little bit of oil and add the pork rinds. once the chiles are done being boiled, you grab the chiles and tomatillos with a spoon and put them in the blender, add salt to your taste, a bit of the chopped onion and put some of the water you used to boil in the blender as well and blend. once the salsa is done how you like, add it to the pork rinds and let it simmer in the pan and you're done. Now before all of that you can make the tortillas, you are going to need a tortilla presser to flatten the tortillas. all you have to do is get a bit of the masa, and make it into a little ball (like play doh) and then you press it down with the tortilla presser. from there you heat them up in the comal or the flat skillet If it sounds like to much work you can just buy "el milagro tortillas" that come in a white paper package, they taste homemade as well. I hope this helps, good luck! Buy a box at the supermarket Mexicana brand. put chicharrone in your tacos then put spices then add some vegetables. http://www.emerils.com/recipes/by_name/m...
