Description
Traditional Mexican soup made with tripe, hominy, and vegetables
Technical
Menudo is a traditional Mexican soup made with tripe, which is the lining of a cow's stomach. The tripe is typically cleaned and cooked to break down its connective tissue, making it tender and easier to digest. The acidity in lime juice used in Menudo helps to break down the proteins in the tripe and preserve the dish.
