Bowl
Frying pan
- 2 Bags of Crunchy Fried Pork Rinds Pickled or Regular, the savory crunch
- Mexican Crema the velvety drizzle
- Valentina Hot Sauce or Any Other Hot Sauce of Your Choice, for the fiery kick
- 2 Cabbages Shredded, for the crisp texture
- 2 Avocados Sliced, the creamy green goodness
- 4 Medium-Sized Tomatoes Cubed, the juicy jewels
- Duros Pellets the traditional Mexican delight
If the Duros Pellets are not already fried, heat the oil in a pan and fry them until they puff up and become crispy. Set aside.
Shred the cabbages finely. You can use a sharp knife or a mandoline for even and thin shreds.
Slice the avocados into thin slices. You can sprinkle a bit of lime juice on the avocados to prevent browning.
Cube the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces. If you prefer, you can remove the seeds for a less watery texture.
Open the bags of crunchy fried pork rinds. If using pickled pork rinds, they add a tangy flavor. Choose the variety that suits your taste.
In a large serving bowl, start assembling the Chilindrinas. Begin with a layer of shredded cabbage as the base.
Place slices of avocado and cubed tomatoes on top of the shredded cabbage. Distribute them evenly for a colorful presentation.
Add the crunchy fried pork rinds on top of the vegetables. Ensure an even distribution for a satisfying crunch in every bite.
Drizzle Mexican crema generously over the Chilindrinas. The crema adds a velvety texture and a touch of richness.
Finish by drizzling Valentina Hot Sauce or your preferred hot sauce over the Chilindrinas. Adjust the amount based on your spice preference.
Garnish the Chilindrinas with Duros Pellets. These puffed delights add a traditional Mexican element to the dish.
Toss the Chilindrinas gently to combine the flavors, and serve immediately. Enjoy this crunchy, creamy, and spicy Mexican snack!
