Ingredients
  
  • 1 cup Duros Pellets
  • Vegetable Oil
  • 1/2 cup Queso Fresco
  • 1/4 cup Sour Cream or Mexican Crema
  • 2 tablespoon Chopped Cilantro
  • 1 cup Pork Rinds (Chicharrón)
  • 1-2 sliced Jalapeño Peppers
  • Black Pepper (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon Chili Powder
  • Hot Sauce (optional)
Instructions
 
  • Preheat a large pot of vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C).
    Once the oil is heated, carefully fry the Duros Pellets until they expand and float to the surface, usually 30 seconds to a minute.
    Remove the Duros with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
  • Take a single warm, fried Duro and spread a generous layer of sour cream or Mexican crema on top.
  • Sprinkle the crumbled queso fresco over the sour cream, followed by the pork rinds, bringing that desired crunchiness to the snack.
  • Add the chopped cilantro and jalapeño slices.
    The cilantro provides a fresh burst, while the jalapeños add a level of spice to your Chilindrina.
  • Dust the concoction with black pepper and chili powder, adding depth to the spicy elements.
    If you desire an extra kick, a dash of hot sauce can be drizzled over the top.
  • Enjoy your Chilindrina immediately while the base is crisp and the toppings are fresh.
    This snack is best savored warm for the perfect blend of spicy and savory flavors.
