guajillo pozole
So I’ve been obsessed with my pozole verde forever. And that was pretty much it for pozole for me.
But when we went to fred’s mexican, all of that changed. Because, they had a pozole that was totally up my jam. I loved it. And knew it was time to make my own roja version, highlighting the guajillo chili.
And thus, a new obsession was born.
