About Tripas

Tripas, a traditional dish from Mexican cuisine, refers to the small intestines of cows, commonly prepared as a savory ingredient for tacos or other street food specialties. Cleaned thoroughly and cooked until tender, tripas are often fried or grilled to achieve a crispy texture and are typically seasoned with spices, lime, and garnished with toppings like onions and cilantro. While high in protein and rich in vitamin B12, tripas are also relatively high in fat and cholesterol, especially when fried. Cooking methods vary, influencing nutritional content; boiled or less fatty preparations may offer healthier options. Tripas provide an adventurous culinary experience and are deeply rooted in cultural practices, but moderation is key for those monitoring heart health or caloric intake.
