Tacos de Chicharrón
Tacos de Chicharrón is a popular Mexican street food that combines the crispy texture of pork rinds with a rich, spicy tomato sauce. Originally starting as a leftover-saving dish in Mexican cuisine, it has grown into one of the most beloved taco variations over the years. The dish is particularly widespread in central and northern Mexico, where chicharrón is often combined with other foods such as beans or salsa. The freshness of the lime and the vibrant taste of cilantro perfectly complement this crispy and flavorful taco.
