Directions

Remove the husks from the tomate verde and rinse well.

Put into a saucepan with the fresh chilies, cover with water, and bring to a simmer.

Continue simmering until soft but not falling apart, about 10 minutes.

Drain the tomate verde and transfer with the chilies and ¼ cup of the cooking water to a blender.

Add the garlic and cilantro and blend until smooth.

Heat the lard in a frying pan, add the onion, and fry gently, without browning, for 1 minute.

Add the blended sauce and fry over high heat, stirring from time to time, until reduced and thickened - about 7 minutes.

Add salt to taste and the pieces of chicharron and continue cooking over medium heat until the chicharron is just soft - about 5 minutes, depending on thickness and quality.

Serve with corn tortillas and a dollop of frijoles refritos.
