Chicharrón al Pastor Basket Tacos

Basket tacos, 100% Tlaxcalteca in origin, are that street food that we can enjoy at any time of the day. They are usually filled with refried beans, potatoes, marinated meat, green mole, and chicharrón, and are accompanied with green sauce or pickled chilies.We love them so much that we decided to create a version that combined two classic flavors of our country's cuisine: pressed chicharrón and al pastor tacos; they are jewels of Mexican gastronomy! The best part is that they will be ready in no time thanks to Doña María® sauces; give them a try!Click here to see more easy recipes!
