Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Pork rinds should not be added at the beginning, as they may become too soft or stick to the bottom—adding them at the end on top of the meat is the traditional method.
  • Adding condensed milk enhances the flavor as it caramelizes during heating, giving a rich golden color and deep umami depth.
  • Using only pork shoulder may result in dry texture; including flavorful offal cuts like oxtail and heart is essential for an authentic local taste.

Recommended for

  • Those who enjoy rich-textured meats such as sundae, offal, or trotters and want to experience authentic Mexican street tacos.
  • People looking for a unique and bold pork dish perfect for camping trips or home parties to impress friends.
