Step 1
Cut pork belly into 2-inch chunks. Score the skin side in a crosshatch pattern to help it crisp.
Step 2
Heat a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high. Add pork belly skin-side down, pressing gently.
Step 3
Cook pork until skin is crackling and golden, ~8-10 minutes, rendering fat as it cooks. Flip and cook 3 minutes more.
Step 4
Slice chorizo and morcilla into rounds. Push pork to the edge of the pan, add sausages to the rendered fat.
Step 5
Cook sausages until edges brown and char slightly, ~4 minutes. Toss sliced onion in the pan, season with cumin, salt, and pepper.
Step 6
Squeeze lime over everything. Serve hot straight from the skillet.
