{{Recipe summary Menudo is a traditional Mexican dish; a spicy soup made with hominy and tripe. Menudo preparation in the northern state of Chihuahua as well as northern New Mexico requires the preparation of three separate items, all combined at the time of final preparation for the table: Stew, Posole, and Chili. This recipe is similar and is very simple, using minimal ingredients. Cooking the menudo and chili the night before allows the cook to place the stew into the refrigerator to harden the saturated fat, allowing it to be skimmed off prior to serving the "Breakfast of Kings" the next morning.
