Pozole is a soupy and aromatic Mexican stew that comes in three versions – red, white, and green, symbolizing the colors of the Mexican flag. Although there are many variations, pozole rojo or red pozole is usually made with a combination of pork, hominy, onions, garlic, bay leaves, salt, and a thick and spicy red sauce consisting of onions, garlic, salt, pepper, olive oil, ancho chili peppers, and guajillo chili peppers.

The ingredients are covered with water, simmered until everything is fully cooked, and then mixed with the sauce and simmered for a few more minutes. The stew is served in individual bowls and it's usually garnished with lemon wedges, shredded lettuce, and sliced avocado.
