Welcome viewers and introduce the recipe for chicharrón preparado.

List the ingredients needed for the recipe.

Finely chop the cabbage and transfer it to a bowl.

Prepare the cucumber by removing the edges and peeling it, then cut it in half and into strips.

Chop the tomato into small squares, optionally removing the seeds.

Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat, enough to cover the chicharrones so they float.

Once the oil is hot, add the chicharrones carefully to avoid splattering, guiding them to stay open as they cook.

Remove the chicharrones from the oil and set them on a kitchen towel to absorb excess oil.

Top the chicharrones with crema, then add hot sauce, cabbage, tomatoes, and pickled pork skin.

Sprinkle queso cotija on top, add fresh lime juice, and finish with avocado slices and more crema and hot sauce.

Serve immediately to maintain the crunchiness of the chicharrones.
