It’s That Simple is our series about recipes so easy, you can make them with your eyes closed. Think tiny ingredient lists, laid-back techniques, and results so delicious, you’ll text home about them.

Salted but unflavored chicharron are your best bet here, allowing you to customize the flavors yourself. The Italian seasoning listed is merely a suggestion—try an equal quantity of Tajín or powdered ranch instead for a fun variation. (Skip the salt if you choose either route.)
