Cooking steps

1

Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicharrón pieces and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly crisped and warmed through.
2

Pour the salsa verde into the skillet with chicharrón, stirring well so the pieces absorb flavor. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until the salsa thickens a bit. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove from heat.
3

On a separate skillet or griddle over medium heat, add a few drops of oil. Place 4 tortillas down and sprinkle with half the Oaxaca cheese. Top evenly with the warm chicharrón-salsa mixture. Add onion and a bit of cilantro to each.
4

Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the filling, then cover with another tortilla. Press gently to seal and cook mulitas on each side for about 2-3 minutes, pressing with a spatula, until golden brown and cheese is melted.
5

Transfer cooked mulitas to a plate and let rest for 1 minute before cutting. Garnish with extra cilantro and serve hot for the best texture.

Personalized Q&A

Q. What's the key ingredient in this recipe?

The standout ingredient is pork chicharrón, which offers a crispy texture and rich, savory flavor. Combined with the melted Oaxaca cheese and tortillas, it forms the heart of authentic street-style mulitas.

Q. How do I achieve the right crispy and melty texture?

Crisping the chicharrón in oil before simmering in salsa verde locks in texture and flavor. Using moderate heat on the skillet ensures the tortillas become golden and crisp without burning, while the cheese melts perfectly inside.

Q. How do I avoid soggy mulitas or cheese leaking out?

Simmer the salsa until slightly thickened so the filling isn’t too wet. Assembling while the tortillas and skillet are hot helps seal the cheese, and pressing with a spatula keeps everything compact and prevents leakage.

Q. What is the nutrition like per serving?

Each serving delivers about 410 kcal, with 32g carbohydrates (31%), 17g protein (17%), and 23g fat (50%). Mulitas are hearty, featuring both protein and carbs for energy, and a robust flavor profile.
