Vegetarian Pozole Rojo
Pozole is a Mexican stew – much like a soup – made with large-kernel corn. Cans of corn, to make pozole, can be easily found in Latino groceries. This vegan version is seasoned with our Tacos Al Pastor spice blend, which makes it very aromatic, but not too hot. The garnishes make all the difference, so be sure not to leave them out!
