Thanks to my wife for teaching me this recipe, which adds great flavor to traditional Cochinita Pibil and our Soy Cochinita. Thanks also to anyone who tries it in their tacos, salbutes, panuchos, or Cochinita sandwiches.

No soy chef. Soy vegetariano, aunque las recetas aquí expuestas, la mayoría sean veganas. Les comparto con mucho gusto estos guisado veganos. Se ven laboriosos y con muchos ingredientes, por la necesidad de aproximar el sabor a los guisos originales. Por eso en ocasiones les incorporo, sobretodo especies, que la receta carnívora, no lleva.
