A good pork rind is as much, if not more, about the textural experience as it about the flavor: that superlatively crisp exterior, the light and airy interior, the stick-to-your-teeth richness of it all...it’s nothing short of sensory splendor on the palate. So when you pair that tactile, textural expression with a nice mix of tart, tangy, and fiery flavors—now you’re really cooking. And that’s precisely what’s offered by Trader Joe’s Chile Lime Flavored Fried Pork Rinds, a sensationally savory, citric, and spicy take on this classic, captivatingly crunchy snack. Inspired by our very own Chile Lime Seasoning Blend, these positively piquant Pork Rinds start with antibiotic-free pork skin that’s been dehydrated then fried until it’s crispy, crunchy, and delightfully curly. Then, our supplier seasons them with a series of spices including chile pepper, paprika, and garlic powder, as well as a mix of lemon and lime juices, resulting in a snack that’s salty, sour, spicy, and remarkably rich, all at once. We recommend snacking on them while watching the game and enjoying an ice-cold beer, dipping them in guacamole or queso fundido for a phenomenally full-flavored treat, or even crushing them up and using them as super savory breadcrumbs for mixing into meatloaf, topping macaroni and cheese bakes, or using as a breading for a pan-fried pork cutlet.
