💡 Chef's tip

To make the meat tender, it's essential to cook it over low heat for an extended period. It's also crucial not to overcook the sauce, so it doesn't become too thick.

Busca una cerveza artesanal mexicana estilo IPA, como la de Cervecería Primus de San Juan del Río. Su amargor cítrico y notas florales cortan la riqueza del cerdo y limpian el paladar para cada bocado.
