Tips:

  • Use dried chiles for a more intense flavor. If you don't have any dried chiles on hand, you can use canned green chiles, but the flavor will be milder.
  • Toast the chiles before using them. This will help to bring out their flavor and make them more fragrant.
  • Use a variety of chiles to create a complex flavor. For example, you could use a combination of Anaheim, poblano, and serrano chiles.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the amount of chiles you use based on your own personal preference. If you like things spicy, add more chiles. If you prefer a milder flavor, use fewer chiles.
  • Serve the posole with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, and cilantro.
