2. Slice top side of skin into 1.5 to 2 in squares just deep enough to get to the fat layer.
3. Rub entire belly with olive oil.
4. Cover entire belly with dry rub. (use a low sugar rub to avoid burning) I prefer a mixture of blacking seasoning and light dashes of Slap Yo Mamas.
5. Cook @325 for 3.5 hours. Then last 20 minutes broil on low to get a crispy layer.
6. Bake for 3.5 hours on a stainless steel rack inset in a cookie sheet. This ensures the belly is above the drippings and helps get the entire surface roasted evenly.

10. Once meat is to your liking remove meat to serving dish. Fry your corn tortillas in the same pan the belly was cooked in for extra flavor. You can use a hot skillet to heat corn or flour tortillas.
