Ahh, tacos. Who doesn’t love a good taco? Today I’m gonna share my recipe for Tacos de Tripas. Tripas (de Res) are cow intestines. My mom made these for me when I was a child. They were always a special treat! She’d make them just the way I like, suaves (soft), most people like theirs crispy. I’ll also be sharing a 20% off code (it’s: 20LyndaMB), you can use my code to order Rumba Meats, click on this link to order: Amazon.com Rumba Meats page.
If you’ve never had Tripas before, now’s your chance to try them. These aren’t available in every Mexican restaurant. Only the hardcore, 100% authentic restaurants have Tripas on the menu. With my recipe, you can make your own at home, thanks to Rumba Meats. I can’t even find tripas in my local grocery store. I’d have to drive to another city to buy them! Now that Rumba Meats is available on Amazon, tripas are delivered to my door! (Click here to order Tripas from Rumba Meats.)

The tripas I made yesterday came out perfect! I know my Mom is smiling down on me from heaven, saying, “That’s my girl!” She taught me well. Everything I know about preparing delicious, authentic, Mexican meals; I learned from her. By watching her cook, and asking questions, I learned to cook the meals she cooked for me, when I was growing up. It was important to her to teach me about my Mexican heritage. Its important to me to carry on the tradition, by preparing delicious meals for my family.
I hope you enjoy my recipe. Share this post with your friends y tu familia tambien. Tell them about my coupon code. Coupons for meat are hard to find. Gracias!
- 4 Lbs Rumba Meats Tripas
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Pico de Gallo to taste (diced onion, chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes)
- 1 pkg corn tortillas
- 1 lime
- Remove Rumba Meats Tripas from package and quickly rinse under running water in sink.
- Put them in a large skillet and add enough water to completely cover them. Cover the skillet and simmer on low heat for one hour.
- After one hour, check to see if they are soft. If so, remove the Tripas from the skillet and place on a plate. Let cool for about ten minutes. If not soft, continue to simmer for another 30-45 minutes.
- Cut the Tripas into bite-size pieces.
- In a clean skillet, add your cooking oil and turn the heat to medium. Once the oil gets hot, add the bite-size pieces of Tripas.
- Fry the Tripas for about 15 minutes, longer if you prefer crispy Tripas, I like mine soft. Sprinkle salt over cooked Tripas.
- Warm your corn tortillas. Fill tortilla with Tripas, garnish with Pico de Gallo, squirt some lime juice onto the Tripas and enjoy!
- FYI: This makes about 12 corn tortilla tacos. Tripas shrink in size once they are cooked. I usually make one pound per person. I like to add sliced avocado to my tacos sometimes, totally your choice to add or not.
