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 ancho and Guajillo chilis in a dry skillet for 30 seconds before soaking to unlock deeper, more complex flavors and reduce any musty notes.
- Strain Your Chili Puree Smoothly 🫖After blending the softened chilis, pass the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer or food mill to remove any remaining skin and seeds, creating a silky, restaurant-quality broth.
- Build Layers with Aromatics 🧅Sauté your diced onions and garlic in olive oil before adding the chili puree and hominy—this crucial step develops deep flavor foundations that elevate the entire dish.
- Don't Overload Your Hominy 🌽Add canned hominy in the last 10 minutes of cooking to prevent it from breaking down and turning mushy, maintaining its signature tender-yet-firm texture.
- Embrace the Garnish Station 🎨Serve pozole with all toppings (sour cream, lime, radish, cilantro, tostadas) on the side, allowing guests to customize their bowl and ensuring maximum freshness and crunch.
