The Sunday Morning Menudo Kit (Authentic Style)
Real Dried Maiz. No Cans. No Mush. The Cure for Everything.
The "Abuela Method" in a Box.
You know the difference. Canned hominy is mushy and salty. Real Nixtamalized Dried Maiz is firm, chewy, and explodes like a flower when you cook it. But finding it—and preparing it—has always been a hassle. Until now.
The Chuco Kitchen Menudo Kit brings the authentic El Paso tradition to your stove. We provide the hard-to-find dry goods; you just add the meat. This isn't just soup; it’s the legendary "Sunday Morning Cure" for your soul (and your hangover).
What’s Inside the Kit?
-
1 lb Authentic Dried White Corn (Maiz Pozolero): Prepared with lime (Nixtamal) so it blooms perfectly. No more 12-hour cooking times.
-
4 Whole Guajillo Pods: To create the signature red broth that coats the spoon.
-
1 Packet "Border Oregano": The pungent, earthy herb that defines the smell of a Mexican kitchen.
-
1 Packet Crushed Piquin Chile: The "finish line" spice. Sprinkle on top for a controlled burn.
-
The "No-Fail" Recipe Card: We teach you exactly how to soak and simmer for perfect results.
Why "Real Maiz" Matters
-
Texture: Canned corn dissolves. Our dried maiz keeps a satisfying "chew" even after reheating.
-
Volume: This 1 lb bag soaks up water to become over 2 lbs of cooked hominy.
-
Health: No preservatives or sodium-heavy brine. Just corn and lime.
How to Cook It (The Weekend Ritual):
-
Saturday Night: Rinse the Maiz and soak it in water while you sleep. (It will double in size!).
-
Sunday Morning: Boil the soaked maiz with your meat (Tripe/Pata) and our Guajillo sauce.
-
The Bloom: Simmer for 3-4 hours until the corn opens up. Serve with lime and our included Oregano/Piquin topping.
Serves: 6-8 Bowls (A huge family pot). Goes Great With: Bolillos, fresh onion, and a cold beer.
