MACHITOS



A true delicacy, tipically Mexican, is the machito which translates into "little male".

The name itself should tip you out about the origin of this dish.

Machito is made of the reproductive organs of the male animal, in this particular case kid goat (cabrito) encased in its fat and wrapped with the tripes.




First they're blenched gently with a whole bunch of aromatics




and, once chilled, roasted on the grill



Placed on a tortilla, slathered in salsa and wrapped up in a taco.
YUM!
