Chicharron en salsa

Ingredients

  • 1/2 medium onion, cut in half and thinly sliced
  • 5 cilantro springs
  • 1 jar Mölli Morelos Cooking sauce
  • 6 oz chicharron (fried pigskin), broken into ½ inch squares

Directions

  1. In a large castiron skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes, or until softened and translucent.
  2. Reduce the heat to medium-low and the Morelos cooking sauce. Bring to a boil, reduce to simmer and add the Chicharron. Stir to coat chicharron with sauce. Cover, and continue cooking for about 5 minutes more, or until the Chicharron is soft but not mushy (this may take more or less time, depending on the thickness and freshness of the Chicharron).
  3. Garnish chicharron with cilantro and serve with warm tortillas, refried beans, and rice. Provecho!

Note: Chicharron, or fried pigskin, is available at most Hispanic butchers and markets.
