Tripa Tortas Ingredients

Method

Tripa Tortas Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tripe

    Clean the beef tripe thoroughly under cold running water. Place it in a large pot with enough water to cover it completely. Add salt to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 2-3 hours until tender.

  2. 2

    Make the Tortas

    Once the tripe is tender, remove it from the pot and let it cool slightly. Cut the tripe into small pieces. In a skillet over medium heat, lightly toast the corn tortillas on both sides until warm and pliable.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Tortas

    On each tortilla, layer the chopped tripe, a generous spoonful of pico de gallo, slices of avocado, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top and drizzle with hot sauce to taste.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Fold the tortillas over the filling to create a sandwich and serve immediately. Enjoy your Tripa Tortas with additional lime wedges and hot sauce on the side.
