Today, "pozole" is a favorite comfort-food order served as a soup or stew made from nixtamilized corn, also known as hominy, in a broth of red or green chiles and, most commonly, pork or chicken.

Pozole rojo, or red pozole, is made with pork, hominy and blended chilies, and while it requires some time on the stove, it isn’t as labour-intensive as the flavour of the finished dish may suggest.
