1

Clean the beef chitterlings thoroughly and place them in a large container.

Let the mixture sit for about 20-30 minutes to clean the chitterlings.

After 20 minutes, rinse the chitterlings well under abundant water to remove the baking soda and lime juice.

Cut the chitterlings into pieces of about 15 centimeters for better frying.

In a pot, add the chitterlings and enough water to cover them, then cook for about 45 minutes, adding salt and ground garlic.

7

Add your preferred adobo seasoning to the pot while cooking.

8

After cooking, drain the chitterlings and prepare to fry them.

9

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet until hot and carefully add the chitterlings, covering them to avoid splattering.

Fry until golden brown and crispy, turning them to avoid burning.

11

For the other half, place the chitterlings in an air fryer at 200 degrees Celsius for about 10 minutes.

12

Serve the fried chitterlings with green plantain coins, tomato wedges, cooked potatoes, and cilantro salsa.
