Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your pozole. Look for fresh, ripe chicken, vegetables, and herbs.

  • Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and chili powder to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as cumin, oregano, or garlic powder.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Pozole is traditionally served with shredded cabbage, radishes, avocado, cilantro, and lime wedges. You can also add sour cream, cheese, or salsa.
