Steps:
- Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a medium (11-inch) pot or Dutch oven, such as Le Creuset, over medium-high heat. Add the pork and saute for 5 to 10 minutes, until lightly browned on all sides.

Stir in the hominy, black beans, corn chips, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper and simmer, partially covered, for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add 1 teaspoon salt, depending on the saltiness of the chicken stock and the chips.

Steps:
- Put oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. When hot, add pork and onions and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until pork and onions are deeply browned, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, pull off whatever stems you can from chiles; break them in half and pour or scrape out some or all of the seeds. (The more you leave in, the hotter the stew will be.) When pork and onions are browned, add chiles, hominy, oregano and cumin. Add water to cover everything by about an inch. Bring to a boil, then adjust heat so the mixture simmers steadily. Cook, stirring occasionally and adding more liquid if necessary, until pork and hominy are tender, at least 1 1/2 hours.
- If you like, fish out and discard chile pieces, or chop them up and stir them back into the pot. Stir in garlic and cook a few minutes more; taste and adjust the seasoning. The mixture should be a little soupy. Serve in bowls, garnished with cilantro and lime wedges.

Tips:
- To make the most flavorful pozole, use a combination of dried and fresh chiles. The dried chiles add a smoky depth of flavor, while the fresh chiles add brightness and heat.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of pork. Pork shoulder is a classic choice, but you can also use pork loin, pork ribs, or even pork belly.
- If you can't find hominy, you can substitute canned corn kernels. However, hominy will give your pozole a more authentic flavor and texture.
- Serve your pozole with a variety of toppings, such as shredded cabbage, radishes, cilantro, and lime wedges. You can also add sour cream or avocado slices for extra richness.
- Pozole is a great dish to make ahead of time. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Conclusion:
With its rich, flavorful broth, tender pork, and hominy, pozole is a hearty and satisfying dish that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you're serving it at a party or enjoying it as a family meal, this traditional Mexican soup is sure to be a hit.
