Ingredients
- 50 g Pork belly, raw
- 40 g Chorizo, fresh (Mexican)
- 30 g Blood sausage
- 40 g Chicken thighs, boneless, skinless, raw
- 70 g Potatoes, raw
- 60 g Plantains, ripe, raw

Method
- Cut the pork belly into small chunks and fry in a dry pan over medium heat until crisp and golden, rendering out most of the fat (chicharrón).
- In the same pan, cook the chorizo (or Colombian-style chorizo, if you can get it) and blood sausage until browned and cooked through, then the chicken thigh until no longer pink inside.
- Cube the potato and fry in a little oil until golden and crisp; fry the ripe plantain slices until caramelized.
- Mix the corn flour with the water and a pinch of salt to a soft dough, pat into a small disc and cook on a hot griddle with a little oil for 3-4 minutes per side until lightly charred (a small arepa).
- Arrange the meats, fried potato, plantain and arepa on a shared plate with the sliced avocado, and serve with lime wedges.
