Air Fryer Pork Belly Chicharrones

Ingredients

• 2 lb Pork belly (Cut into pieces; make small cuts on the skin.)
• 1 medium Onion (Used in the boiling water; exact amount was not specified.)
• 4 Garlic cloves (Used in the boiling water; exact amount was not specified.)
• 2 Bay leaves (Used in the boiling water; exact amount was not specified.)
• Salt (To taste; added to the boiling water.)
• 8 Tortillas (For serving in tacos; exact amount was not specified.)
• 1 cup Guacamole (For serving; exact amount was not specified.)
• 1 cup Salsa (For serving; exact amount was not specified.)

Steps

1. 1

   Cut the pork belly into pieces and make small cuts in the skin.

2. 2

   Place the pork belly in water with the onion, garlic cloves, bay leaves, and salt. Boil for about 1 hour.

3. 3

   Remove the pork belly from the water and dry it very thoroughly with paper towels.

4. 4

   Place the pork belly in an air fryer at 390°F (200°C). Cook for 20 minutes on each side, turning it once so both sides cook evenly.

5. 5

   For extra crispiness, continue cooking at 400°F (205°C) for 15 more minutes.

6. 6

   Serve the chicharrones in tacos with tortillas, guacamole, and salsa.
