Instructions

  1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
  2. 2 Make the soup: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add tripe, reduce the heat, and simmer, periodically skimming off fat, for 2 hours; drain. Fill the pot with fresh water, and simmer tripe for 2 more hours; drain again.
  3. 3 Pour 1 gallon water over tripe in the pot; bring to a boil. Stir in onion, garlic, red pepper, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Reduce the heat and simmer for 1 hour.
  4. 4 Meanwhile, set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Arrange árbol chiles on a baking sheet. Broil chiles in the preheated oven just until they begin to scorch, about 2 minutes.
  5. 5 Remove from the oven, slit lengthwise, and remove seeds.
  6. 6 Place árbol chiles into a blender or food processor with japones chiles; blend until minced.
  7. 7 Stir chile mixture into the pot and continue cooking over low heat for 2 hours.
  8. 8 Mix hominy into the pot and cook for 1 hour. Serve soup with cilantro, onion, and lime wedges.
