Chicharrones de harina

252 · Oct 14, 2011 · 2 Comments

Have you ever wondered how to make your own chicharrones de harina? The crunchy, salty and mysteriously orange-colored street food snack eaten with lime juice and drizzles of salsa?

How to prepare chicharrones de harina

I get a lot of questions from friends and readers about this snack because they’ve never seen it before, or have never prepared it themselves. And although they may look intimidating, they’re extremely easy to make at home.

Chicharrones de harina are a dense, dried, flour-based wheat snacks that puff up when they’re fried. (So, no, these are not a healthy snack. And yes, they contain gluten.) …

Antojos de la calle: papitas con limón y salsa

3 · Oct 3, 2011 · 3 Comments

In many places in Mexico, you can find street vendors with little carts, selling antojitos, or snacks.

Usually, the standard offerings include chicharrones (pork rinds), chicharrones de harina (a fried, puffed wheat snack that looks orange) or papitas (potato chips).

Served in a little plastic bag with a squeeze of lime juice and your choice of salsa, it’s a great snack whether you’re on the go or just want to take a leisurely stroll through the park.

I like to keep a little bag of potato chips in my desk at work so I can make a quick afternoon snack—the only thing I need to remember to bring is a lime and a small bottle of salsa.

It’s a very simple and typical Mexican snack. You can choose whatever kind of salsa you like; spicy, medium, mild or even a salsa like chamoy, which is a sweet and spicy mixture usually made with chile powder and a salted fruit brine. It’s up to you!

I like to use the salsa pictured here, salsa clasica de Búfalo (but don’t be fooled; it’s not anything like buffalo sauce you’re used to seeing in the U.S.). It’s a slightly spicy and vinegary red salsa.

All you have to do to make your own is open the bag (be careful not to tear it), squeeze half a lime (or more if you like) inside the bag and then pour as much salsa in the bag as you like. Close the bag up and shake it so the salsa and lime juice distribute somewhat evenly and then just open the bag up and enjoy. ¿Que rico, no?

In fact, in an attempt to delay doing laundry, it turns out I’ll do just about anything else. Including take out my letter board and take a photo of my dirty laundry. 🤦🏻‍♀️🧺🧺🧺 Why isn’t there an Alexa skill for this yet?! ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #letterboardinspiration #letterboards #letterboard #letterboardfun #letterboardlove #letterboardquote #letterboardquotes #letterboardinspo #letterboardstories #feltletterboards #feltletterboard #letterfolkquotes #thelettergrams #craftyhands #feltlikesharing #dirtylaundry #laundrytime #amazonalexa
  • I didn’t take a bite... YOU took a bite! (OK, I totally did.) 🤷🏻‍♀️🍩 But in my defense, these margarita-glazed doughnuts are the real deal. Like having a cocktail 🍹 without the buzz. Not suitable for the kids because there’s booze in the glaze, but then who am I to assume you’d want to share them anyway? 🍩🍹🍩🍹🍩🍹🍩 Recipe is up on the blog at theothersideofthetortilla.com. 👩🏻‍💻 What kind of doughnuts should I make next?! ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #mexicanfood #mexican #thatsdarling #acolorstory #mexicanfoodlover #mexicanfoodporn #mexicanfoodisthebest #mexicolors #margaritatime #mexicanlife #food52 #thefeedfeed #thekitchn #eeeeeats #donuts🍩 #donutlove #doughnuts🍩 #breakfastgoals #donutlover #ambaking #bakingwithlove #mywilliamssonoma

  • 🥐 Las penas con pan son menos 🥐⠀ ⠀ Did you know there are as many as 2,000 kinds of Mexican pan dulce? 😱 My husband and I started writing ✍🏼 a guide to common types of Mexican sweet bread awhile back, and then realized I’d probably never publish it on my blog if I waited until I tried and photographed hundreds more. 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ So this is me, Type A person who likes to have ALL the details and photos complete and perfect, telling you that I published an incomplete guide on 💁🏻‍♀️ theothersideofthetortilla.com with more than 50 kinds of pan dulce, descriptions and some photos, and I plan to add more over time. I hope you’ll check it out and tell me in the comments below what other types of pan dulce you think I should add to the list! ❤️🥐⠀ ⠀ #pandulce #pandulcemexicano #mexicanfood #mexican #mexicolors #colormehappy #choosehappiness #pursuepretty #livecolorfully #mexicanlife #mexicancuisine #mexicanfoodporn #food52 #thefeedfeed #thekitchn #storyofmytable #eeeeeats #thatsdarling #panaderia #laspenasconpansonmenos #breakfastinspo #breakfastporn #breakfastlove #pastrylover #fortheloveofbread #baking
