Chifrijo

A favorite bar snack of Los Ticos, chifrijo has is chips and salsa amped up by crispy pork and a classic Costa Rican condiment - Salsa Lizano. And if its not your new favorite sauce after this well, then not even Keylor Navas can save you.

Sonia Mendez Garcia shows us how to do it right. Coach suggests a boneless piece of pork belly, which will make for easy dicing later on in the recipe.
