Actually making them is ridiculously easy.
First , they are literally available at walmart. In sealed packs - prewashed.
However…. Always good to open up on end and run water thru each to flush them. I tend to peel off most if the attached fat ( save it for later ).
I put a pot of water with onion half / 4-5 garlic cloves - medium boil - add tripas …. Cook for about 30-40 minutes. Check doneness by sticking fork into one , if it goes in easily then they are ready for next step. Try not to overcook
.Remove from water - pat them dry - set aside.
Heat a large pan / wok on medium high . Add Manteca / Crisco or Bacon fat for best results in frying. Add some of that pulled fat to oil to render it down ( if you like ) .
Once oil is ready - cut down tripa to 2 inch pieces - add to oil. Turn them frequently ( watch them !!! )
Be careful as you can burn them or make them too chewy. Light browning is fine.
Serve on Street taco sized tortillas with salsa / cilantro / chopped onions. Or Roll up a Bomb Ass Burrito with some Fried Beans ….
Dinner and a Dank Joint …. OLE’
