What is cuchifrito?

Cuchifritos is a popular Puerto Rican dish consisting of fried pork pieces. The dish is typically made from cuts of meat such as pork belly or pork shoulder that are marinated in a variety of spices, including garlic, oregano, and cumin, before being deep-fried to a crispy golden-brown texture. Cuchifritos are often served with a side of rice and beans, or as a snack with a dipping sauce. The dish is a staple in many Puerto Rican households and is commonly found in street food stalls or restaurants specializing in Caribbean cuisine.
