Description

This pozole recipe is made in a slow cooker with pork, hominy, green chiles, and enchilada sauce for an easy version of the classic Mexican soup.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon canola oil
1 (2 pound) boneless pork loin roast, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans enchilada sauce
2 (15 1/2 ounce) cans white hominy, drained
1 onion, sliced
1/2 cup green chilies, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

1 Heat oil in a skillet over high heat. Add pork; cook and stir just until meat is browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
2 Place meat in a 4-quart slow cooker. Pour enchilada sauce over the meat. Top with hominy, onion, chilies, garlic, cayenne pepper, and oregano. Pour in enough water to fill the slow cooker.
3 Cover and cook on High for 6 to 7 hours. Stir in cilantro and salt. Cook on Low for 30 minutes more.
