What is Chicharrón Prensado? This authentic Mexican specialty is the result of pressing the little pieces of meat & skin (sancocho) that come off the chicharrón when frying. Put simply, it is everything delicious that goes to the bottom of the pan when making the crispy chicharrón you grew up loving.
