EverydayCooked

Menudo is a traditional Mexican soup featuring beef tripe and hominy simmered in a red chili pepper broth. This slow-cooked dish provides substantial protein from the tripe and fiber from nixtamalized corn (hominy), though its cholesterol content may require moderation for some diets. Often served with lime, onions, and cilantro, it’s culturally renowned both as a celebratory weekend meal and a restorative remedy for digestive discomfort due to the collagen-rich broth’s gelatinous texture.
