Treat your ingredients with care...

Tips & Tricks
- For an extra smoky flavor, you can grill the corn tortillas instead of warming them in a skillet.
- If you prefer a milder heat, reduce the amount of chintextle paste or remove the seeds from the dried chilies before making the paste.
- Serve the tacos with a side of Mexican rice and refried beans for a complete meal.
- Experiment with different garnishes such as sliced avocado, pickled jalapeños, or crumbled queso fresco.
- Leftover chintextle pork can be used as a filling for quesadillas or enchiladas.
Serving advice
Serve the Chintextle Tacos on a platter, allowing your guests to assemble their own tacos. Provide extra lime wedges and a variety of hot sauces for those who enjoy an extra kick of heat.
Presentation advice
Arrange the tacos on a colorful plate, garnishing them with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro and a vibrant lime wedge. The contrasting colors of the garnishes will make the dish visually appealing and appetizing.
