Ingredients

• 2.5 lb Beef tripe
• 1 lb Pig feet
• 8 Guajillo chiles
• 2 cans White hominy
• 1 White onion
• 6 cloves Garlic
• 2 tsp Mexican oregano
• 2 Lime
• 12 Corn tortillas

Steps

1. Rinse the tripe thoroughly and simmer with the pig feet and half the onion 2 hours, until completely tender. Low and slow — there is no shortcut.
2. Blend the toasted, soaked guajillos with garlic and oregano into a smooth red chile base.
3. Strain the chile base into the pot and add the hominy. Simmer 30 minutes more until the broth turns deep red.
4. The tripe should be silky and yielding, the broth rich and chile-warm. Season boldly with salt.
5. Serve in deep bowls with diced onion, oregano, and lime.
6. Eat with warm corn tortillas. The northern weekend ritual, and the definitive cure.
