Cut off the stem from the loroco and chop it up into smaller pieces.

Place the chopped loroco into a food processor.

Cut the mozzarella cheese into blocks and then into smaller pieces.

Put the cheese into a Ninja Blender.

Add 1 cup of milk to the blender with the cheese.

Blend until the cheese and milk form a masa-like consistency.

Transfer the blended mixture into a bowl and mix it by hand to ensure it's well combined.

Prepare the chicharrón by placing it in the food processor with half a tomato, half an onion, some green bell pepper, and red bell pepper.

Blend the chicharrón mixture until it turns into a paste.
