About this dish

Cueritos are Latin cuisine pickled pork rinds. A type of encurtido (pickled appetizer), the vinegar is typically heavily seasoned, with ingredients including pineapple, piloncillo, cloves, peppercorns, chile de árbol and oregano. Cueritos are used to make a type of cemita and can be used in other dishes like tostadas. Cueritos are sometimes served in a glass with strips of the pickled pork rind alongside a slaw of cabbage, cucumber, lime, and chile sauce. The Mexican street food (antojito) known as "tostilocos" are made by slicing nacho-flavored tostito chips vertically and topping them with cucumber, cueritos, lime juice, Valentina hot sauce, chamoy, tajín (seasoning) chili powder, salt and "Japanese peanuts" (peanuts encased in a crunchy brown flour shell).
