    MMMMM--------------------------TO SERVE-------------------------------
    Salsa taquera
    Chopped white onion
    Chopped cilantro
    Sliced radishes
    Lime wedges

    Heat lard in a large heavy pot over medium-high and cook
    brisket until browned on all sides, 10 to 12 minutes.
    Transfer brisket to a large bowl. Add pork belly to the
    pot and cook until browned on at least two sides, 4 to 6
    minutes. Transfer to bowl with brisket. Add pig’s foot
    and cook until browned on all sides, 4 to 6 minutes. Add
    salt, reserved brisket and pork belly, their accumulated
    juices and 2½ cups water. Bring to a boil, cover and
    reduce to a low simmer and cook for 1½ hours. Brisket
    and pork will be partly cooked and very tough at this
    point. Add chorizo links, spring onions and garlic,
    cover and continue to simmer until meats are all very
    tender and will shred easily with little resistance,
    another 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

    When ready to assemble, remove pig’s foot from pot (be
    careful not to leave behind any bones) and separate meat
    and skin from bones. Discard bones, chop the meat and
    skin, and transfer to a large bowl. Chop the brisket,
    pork belly, chorizo and spring onion and add them, along
    with the garlic, to the bowl with the pig’s foot; toss
    to combine. Pour cooking liquid over meat.

    Spoon meat and some juices onto a tortilla and top with
    salsa taquera, onion, cilantro, radish and a squeeze of
    lime. Or make taqueria-style tacos.
