Pork Skins

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork Skins

    Preheat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. While the oil is heating, cut the pork skin into small pieces.

  2. 2

    Fry the Pork Skins

    Once the oil is hot, add the pork skin pieces carefully. Fry them until they are golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Season the Pork Skins

    Remove the crispy pork skins from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Season them immediately with salt, paprika, and garlic powder.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Salsa

    In a bowl, combine diced tomatoes, chopped onion, cilantro, lime juice, and jalapeño. Mix well and adjust seasoning to taste.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the crispy pork skins in a basket with a side of fresh salsa.
