Equipment
- Heavy-bottomed stockpot
- Slotted spoon
Ingredients
- ~1-2 cups Wheat pinwheels (chicharrones de harina) ($0.50)
- ~1 cup Neutral vegetable oil ($1.76)
For serving optional
- Limes
- Chile-lime seasoning
- Chamoy
- Valentina
Instructions
- Heat ~½-inch neutral vegetable oil in a large pot over medium (the oil should be approximately 350-375°F).
- Once you think the oil is ready, test a pinwheel to see if it starts to puff up within a few seconds. If it does, cook the chicharrones de harina in batches for 45-60 seconds, stirring frequently.
- Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Continue this process with as many as you’d like to eat.
- Serve your pinwheels with a sprinkle of chile-lime seasoning, lime juice, hot sauce, or chamoy. Happy eating!
Notes
- These can also be made in an air-fryer or microwave if you'd prefer a low or oil-free option.
- Make sure you purchase chicharrones de harina as there is another type of chicharrones made from pork.
