Heat a large skillet over medium heat, cover the bottom with a thin layer of olive oil and warm for 1-2 minutes. Pour in the chili puree and cook for 8 minutes or until it reduces and becomes darker in color and thickens.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Toast Your Dried Chilis First 🌶️Lightly toast the guajillo and ancho chilis in a dry skillet for 30 seconds before soaking to intensify their deep, complex flavors and unlock their full aromatic potential.
- Build Broth Depth with Chicken Bones 🍗Use bone-in chicken pieces or add extra bones to create a rich, gelatinous broth that gives pozole its signature silky mouthfeel and superior flavor compared to boneless cuts.
- Strain Your Chile Puree Smoothly 🪡After blending soaked chilis, press the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove tough chile skins, creating a velvety sauce without grit or texture issues.
- Don't Skip the Acidic Finish 🍋Reserve lime juice to add at the very end of cooking—this brightens the heavy, earthy flavors of the pozole and prevents the brightness from cooking away.
- Prepare Toppings Station in Advance 🛠️Slice radishes, chop cilantro, and arrange all garnishes before serving so guests can customize their bowls—this transforms pozole into an interactive, restaurant-quality dining experience.
