Pozole Ingredients

Method

Pozole Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chiles

    Remove the stems and seeds from the guajillo, pasilla, árbol, and chipotle chiles. Rinse them under cold water.

  2. 2

    Soak the Chiles

    Place the cleaned chiles in a bowl and cover them with hot water. Let them soak for about 20 minutes until they soften.

  3. 3

    Blend the Chiles

    Once softened, transfer the chiles to a blender. Add the garlic cloves, ground cumin, and a little bit of the soaking water. Blend until smooth.

  4. 4

    Cook the Broth

    In a large pot, bring the chicken or vegetable broth to a boil. Stir in the blended chile mixture and reduce the heat to a simmer.

  5. 5

    Add Hominy

    Add the hominy to the pot and stir well. Allow it to simmer for an additional 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  6. 6

    Season the Pozole

    Taste the pozole and season with salt and dried oregano. Adjust the seasoning as needed.

  7. 7

    Prepare Corn Tortillas

    While the pozole is simmering, warm the corn tortillas on a skillet or comal until soft and pliable.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Ladle the pozole into bowls and serve hot with the warm corn tortillas on the side.
