Steps

1

Boil the tripe pieces (crucetas) in water with the limes. To prepare the limes, cut two shallow crosses on each lime, one on each side. Once the tripe is boiled, rinse and cut into medium-sized cubes. Cut the potato into large pieces.
2

For the barbacoa sauce, boil the cleaned, seeded chiles in a little water. Once the water is mostly absorbed, add a little oil and sauté for 4 minutes. Transfer to a blender and blend with the pork broth, raw garlic, and onion.
3

Boil the pork with salt. Once it’s boiling and the meat is tender, add the strained blended sauce from the previous step.
4

Finally, add the tripe and potato. Add salt to taste and cook until the potato is tender but not falling apart. Serve hot. This dish goes great with a side of white rice.
