It belongs to the *carnitas* family of cuts, the parts of the pig confited together in fat, and on a good *carnitas* board it sits among the more familiar pieces as a quieter, more elastic option. The defining quality is that tenderness without strong flavor: *nana* tastes faintly porky and clean, and its appeal is texture and richness rather than the assertive funk that other offal brings. Getting it right is mostly about cleaning and patience. The uterus is thoroughly cleaned and trimmed, then cooked low and slow, traditionally simmered in lard with the rest of the *carnitas*, until it is fully tender and the springiness softens into something yielding. It is then chopped fine, because the texture can turn rubbery in large pieces and reads best in small, even bits. A soft corn tortilla, warmed on the comal, is the standard carrier; the chopped *nana* is kept warm in its fat and dressed simply with onion, cilantro, a squeeze of lime, and a salsa to cut the richness. The reliable failures are under-cleaned meat, which carries an off note no salsa fixes, and undercooked *nana*, which stays tough and chewy instead of tender. Good *nana* is soft, mild, and a little luscious from the rendered fat. The frame is the *carnitas* cart, and the *nana* shares it with a row of related cuts that each behave differently. *Buche*, the pig's stomach, is chewier and more savory; *cueritos*, the cured skin, are cool and gelatinous; *maciza*, the lean meat, is the plain default. Some cooks blend *nana* with *buche* so the textures play against each other in one taco. The full *carnitas* tradition, the whole confited pig bought by weight with its surtido of cuts, is a much larger subject and deserves its own article rather than being crowded in here. --- ## More from this family Other [El Taco Callejero](https://onesandwich.com/tag/el-taco-callejero/) sandwiches in Mexico: - [Taco al Carb贸n](https://onesandwich.com/taco-al-carbon/) - [Taco al Vapor](https://onesandwich.com/taco-al-vapor/) - [Taco Campechano](https://onesandwich.com/taco-campechano/) - [Taco de Alambre](https://onesandwich.com/taco-de-alambre/) - [Taco de Arrachera](https://onesandwich.com/taco-de-arrachera/) - [Taco de Asador](https://onesandwich.com/taco-de-asador/) - [Taco de Barbacoa de Borrego](https://onesandwich.com/taco-de-barbacoa-de-borrego/) - [Taco de Barbacoa de Res](https://onesandwich.com/taco-de-barbacoa-de-res/) [See all El Taco Callejero sandwiches 鈫抅(https://onesandwich.com/tag/el-taco-callejero/)
