Tortillas filled with marinated chicken, refried beans, chicharrones, avocado, tomato, rajas de chile poblano, cheese, and roasted corn chipotle salsa. The chicharrones were little pieces of fried pork rind from a big pot of lard that I had just rendered. As usual, the norteños had flour tortillas; the chilangos had corn tortillas.

A light and delicious dessert for a mild autumn day. It was served with crème anglais and pieces of glazed chestnut.
