Taste for salt and adjust.
- Pour the salsa into 6qt dutch oven and turn the flame to medium. Let the salsa come to a boil, and once it reaches a boil let it cook for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, add the chicharrones and reduce the flame to medium low. Cover your dutch oven with a lid and let cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicharrones have softened and the salsa has thickened. Serve warm with rice and beans.
