How to Make Enfrijoladas

ESTEBAN CASTILLO, Author of Chicano Eats

Hola Hola!

How are you?! Today we’re making enfrijoladas and I know it’s only been a couple of days since Memorial Day, but I am so ready for a vacation! Getting to grill over the weekend was exactly what I needed. We’re already experiencing triple digit heat in the Central Valley, and I am aching for a trip to the beach!

Hola! Hola! Happy Wednesday!

Today we are making Chochoyotes con Chicken, my take on the comforting chicken and dumplings.

Before I get into the recipe, I wanted to share with you that I’m launching a Youtube Channel on April 1st! I’ve wanted to start a channel for the longest time but I kept telling myself that I ‘d get to it when I had the time–and I realized that it was never going to happen unless I just did it. So I’m doing it! I’ll be posting every Tuesday and Thursday (starting on April 1st), and I’m going to make sure to embed the videos on here so that you don’t have to travel to different sites to watch the content!

Chicharrón en Salsa Verde (Pork Rinds in Salsa Verde)

CHICHARRON EN SALSA VERDE

Hola! Hola! Feliz Sábado!

I hope you’re all comfy and cozy this morning! Today we woke up in Fresno covered in a layer of ice, so I’ll be staying in today wrapped up in my cobijas with atole catching up on the Mandalorian.

Before I go, I do want to share with a quick recipe for chicharrón en salsa verde that I tightened up. I also wanted to thank all of you who made some of my recipes a part of your Holiday traditions and festivities. I enjoyed seeing all of the pictures and stories on Instagram of you all who made my pozole rojo, the buñuelos, ponche and marranitos. It truly means a lot to see my recipes come to life in your kitchens.

Chicharrón en salsa verde is a dish that consists of pork rinds stewed in a tangy salsa verde. I like to use both regular pork rinds as well as chicharron with meat on it in my recipe so they release more flavor as they stew, and it also gives the dish a little more substance. You can serve it over rice with beans, but I love having it as tacos too.

I’m keeping it very brief today with this quick recipe. Stay warm, have a great weekend, and have a great rest of the year!

Nos vemos pronto!
