Preparation Steps
1
Thoroughly wash the tripe, then cut it into smaller pieces.
2
In a large pot, bring the beef broth or water to a boil, then add the whole onion, garlic cloves, bay leaves, oregano, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
3
Simmer over low heat for 3-4 hours, or until the tripe is very tender.
4
Remove the tender tripe from the broth and let it cool slightly. Then, in a skillet with olive oil or lard, fry it until lightly crispy on the outside.
5
Lightly toast the corn tortillas in a dry skillet to keep them pliable.
6
Serve the crispy tripe on the tortillas, topped with chopped red onion and fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges so everyone can squeeze fresh lime juice on top.
