Step 1
Char tomatoes and chiles directly over a gas flame or under a broiler for 2–3 minutes until blistered and soft.
Step 2
Blend charred tomatoes, chiles, garlic, vinegar, and a pinch of salt until smooth and vibrant red.
Step 3
Heat a skillet over medium-high. Warm tortillas 30 seconds per side until pliable.
Step 4
If pork belly is fresh, cut into bite-sized pieces and pan-fry until golden and crispy, 5–6 minutes.
Step 5
If using pre-fried chicharrón, warm it in the same skillet 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 6
Fill tortillas with crispy pork, top with salsa, and serve immediately with lime wedges if desired.
