Cooking Steps
- Heat a dry skillet over medium heat and add the dried guajillo and ancho chiles. Toast the chiles for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Place the toasted chiles in a bowl and cover them with hot water. Allow them to soak for about 15 minutes until softened.
- Drain the chiles and add them to a blender with one cup of soaking water. Blend until smooth to create a red chile sauce.
- In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat, add the pork, and sear for about 5 minutes until browned.
- Transfer the seared pork to the slow cooker, add onion, garlic, hominy, cumin, oregano, and the red chile sauce. Mix well.
- Pour chicken broth over the mixture in the slow cooker, ensuring it is mostly submerged. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 7-8 hours or high for 4-5 hours until the pork is tender.
- Remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded pork to the pot.
- Ladle the pozole into bowls and top with fresh toppings like radishes, cabbage, cilantro, lime wedges, and avocado slices.
