  1. Begin by draining and rinsing your canned hominy and adding to a pot of water, bring to a boil for 10, minutes then drain.
  2. In a separate pot or deep pan add 1 to 2 tablespoons of oil and sauté onions and garlic for 5 minutes. Remove onions and garlic from pan then add an additional 1 to 2 tablespoons of oil and sauté mushrooms. You want them to get golden brown so do not move them around too much. Do it in batches if needed, you don’t want to over crowd pot. Season with salt and pepper. Then remove mushrooms from pan.
  3. Add 6 cups filtered water to the pot followed by 1 tablespoon of your bouillon paste. Bring to a simmer then add the guajillo peppers… I used 2 but add 1-2 more if you want it more spicy. Let boil for 7 minutes then carefully transfer the peppers and broth to a blender and add the onions and garlic. Blend in high for 1-2 minutes until completely smooth.
  4. Transfer back to the pot and add mushrooms, hominy, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt and pepper to taste. Boil altogether for 5 minutes then serve hot.
  5. Top off with all your toppings: cabbage, avocado, radish, cilantro, lime!
