Ingredients

• 2 lb Beef shank
• 2 Corn on the cob
• 1 Chayote
• 2 Zucchini
• 2 cups Green beans
• 5 Guajillo chiles
• 2 Tomatoes
• 1/2 White onion
• 1/4 cup Epazote
• 2 Lime

Steps

1. Simmer the beef shank 60 minutes until tender, skimming for a clear broth.
2. Blend the toasted guajillos with tomatoes, onion, and garlic, then stir into the pot — the broth turns a rustic red.
3. Add the corn and chayote and simmer 15 minutes.
4. Add the green beans for 8 minutes, then the zucchini and epazote for the final 8.
5. The vegetables should be tender but whole, swimming in red broth.
6. Serve in deep bowls with lime and warm tortillas. The humble pot-mole of central Mexico.
