We couldn’t let National Hispanic Heritage Month slide without sharing one of our favorite meals: Pozole!
Pozole is a traditional Mexican soup that is chock-full of flavor and delicious vegetables. Add broiled pork or chicken and you’ve got one incredible (and healthy) meal!
One of the most identifiable characteristics of pozole is its toppings. A heap of lettuce, radishes, avocado, and fresh oregano sits so proudly atop this soup that it looks more like a salad. In fact, we often joke that it is salad! When we ask for salad, you might as well translate that as “pozole.”
Are you dying to try it yet? Get the recipe right here.
