Chicharon for lunch. I ate all the meat except the fat. Not the healthiest but I was just craving it.

Oh, of all things that are glorious in my world it's chicharron (meat AND fat!!). And this pic is of the honest to goodness fresh stuff *drool*

Now I have to go buy some pork belly and make some. The packaged stuff currently in my pantry has officially lost its lustre.

😂 it’s very glorious! You sound like my stepmom. She’s addicted to chicharon, including the crunchy skin.

i might need to buy some to make myself too! I forgot how much I missed it. Maybe air frying could work?

Are you eating those as Snacks or making cheese shells for tacos 🌮? OR for something else I can’t think of?

Haha, technically, chicharron is fried pork skin, fat & meat (think crispy fried pork belly). Sometimes its called cracklins, I think. (Different from Pork rinds which is just the skin and kinda puffy like a cheetoh)

It gets a bad rap as being super unhealthy due to its super high fat content (but really, sugar is waaaaay worse for you than fat is). I wouldn't recommend eating it during weight loss phase though, as its quite high in calories and not very filling. It does have a good amount of Protein, but still...there are better choice if you are trying to lose weight.

I find it a suitable snack in my own maintenance diet: decent protein, virtually no carbs....and sooooo yum.
