Pork cracklings in sauce is a classic of Mexican cuisine, as it is an economical and generous recipe. With this version, you will step out of the ordinary, as it is prepared with red sauce. Additionally, the flavor of the chiles gives a twist to the dish and the nopales add a more nutritious touch, as they contain amino acids and fiber.
