Ingredients of Guacamole Recipe
The combination of crispy pork belly chicharron and creamy guacamole is the perfect snack. It is rich and satisfying, yet light enough to make you feel energized after each bite. It is also a great appetizer or lunch to share with friends and family. This recipe is easy to follow and will be a hit at any party.
The key to achieving the best results is making sure that the pork skin is completely dry before seasoning and frying. This will ensure that it puffs up and becomes crisp during frying. It is also important to maintain a consistent frying temperature and to let the cooked pork belly cool before slicing. Finally, it is important to give the sliced pork belly time to rest before serving so that it retains its juiciness and flavor.

To prepare the pork skin, heat lard in a deep pot until it reaches 400F. Add the pork skin and cook it until it puffs up and turns crispy, about 30 seconds. Transfer it to a paper towel-lined plate and drain the oil. Repeat with remaining pieces of pork skin.
To prepare the guacamole, peel and mash the avocados. Stir in the tomato, onion, jalapeno, cilantro and lime juice and season with salt. If desired, drizzle with olive oil and serve with a side of crunchy chicharron and chips.
Preparation Steps
Chicharron, pork skin, is a Mexican staple that’s usually eaten as a crunchy vehicle for salsas and guacamole. It’s available at most markets in Mexico City, usually fried and often with fat or meat clinging to it, but it’s easy to make at home. To get the best results, use a pork belly with a lot of fat (which will also give it a more meaty flavor).
To prepare it, rinse the pieces and place them in a pot with water. Bring to a heavy boil, reduce the heat and let simmer for about an hour. Drain and pat dry with paper towel. Then, transfer to a baking sheet and refrigerate overnight, uncovered to dry out even further.
When ready to fry, heat a large amount of lard in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add a piece of chicharron and wait for it to puff up. Once puffed, flip and fry the other side until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the pan and drain on a paper-towel lined plate to absorb excess oil. Repeat with remaining pieces. Serve with Fresh Guacamole.
