Vaca Frita

Method

1. 1

   Simmer flank with an onion until shreddable, 90 minutes; shred and toss with lime, garlic and cumin.

2. 2

   Press thin layers onto a screaming skillet; DON'T move them until crisped, 3–4 minutes.

   💡 Fiddling is the enemy. The crust forms in stillness.

3. 3

   Flip, crisp again with onion rings; finish with more lime.

4. 4

   Serve with moros and sweet plantains.
