I usually buy the BIG can I heat it up and and a quart size can of plain Mexican hominy (not regular white hominy. Too soft. Mexican hominy is firmer and goes with the hominy already in the prepared can. I love lots of hominy. Great with a side steamed tortillas to roll and bite. After we have our portions, any leftover we bag and freeze in quart bags for another day.
Juanitas has a spicy version too. And it's just right. The brands flavor is the best or closest thing to homemade menudo. Great product. Highly recommend!
It's twice as good on a cold morning!

I completely agree. Why not. I have had requests for menudo from friends and I don t like siting over the stove for hours and prep of the tripe etc. I have taken two large cans (the big big cans) of Juanita s Menudo and doctored it up and served and no one knew any different. They were impressed and loved it. . Plus you are right, I m single and being able to make enough for just two servings is nice.

Love Juanita's canned menudo. Usually do diced onion with fresh cilantro and seeded/diced serrano or jalapeno with lime juice as a fresh salsa garnish. That and warm buttered corn tortillas and I am good to go. For breakfast I'll poach a couple eggs in the broth with the lid on after turning off the heat. Juanita's canned pozole is really good as well.

Nahhhh.
That's not how you do it. The correct way to doctor up a can of Menudo is to put it back in the cabinet for a rainy day. Go to the Mexican Market and get Tripe, Seasoning Mix and a bag of Hominy, you know the rest. And don't forget, fresh Tortillas, Onions, Oregano and Cilantro to serve it with.

We are a family of 8and we love menudo but it can get pricey, so what I do I buy 2 large cans of menudo and 2 large cans of hominy and I definitely doctor it up with all the spices, and I even cook the beef feet I also add it to the menudo. And Happy family!

That looks great. I love to eat Menudo but live alone and don't want to go to the trouble to make a big pot so I haven't made it in years! I'm trying this out tomorrow! I think I'll have to add a small can of hominy though. Thanks. On my way to the store now!

You should do a bean and cheese enchillada recipe? I'm looking for much cheaper less meat meals for my 5 kids. You can make chicken menudo for cheaper and you get so much more then the can, where I live that can is like 5 bucks
reply

To make more I'd add potatoes, carrots maybe some more hominy. Some celery. Hey why not lol. I've had it like this before. Mom used to. add pig feet. Anyway some white rice on the side and as you say. dinner is done

Nice! I haven't had menudo before. I kept seeing the cans at the store and wondered if they were any good. I think I'll get some next time to try it out. Although I did see beef tripe in the frozen section.
reply

Juanita's is actually pretty good menudo if you're unable to find a menudo spot near you. I just eat it right outta the can. Only think you missed was some crushed chili flakes or chile piquin and a bolillo. ;)
reply

Can of spicy menudo and can without hominy mixed. I like the meat more. Top with a pre mixed menudo spice pack. (Oregano, dried onions, oregano and dried chillies. Whole lot of lemon squeezing to top. Yum!
reply

Thank you for doing this video I always wanted to know how to make this can taste better! It tastes like the can I think. If you live in Arizona go to food City they have the spice's for two dollars.
reply

I eat that same brand of Menudo, I can't get any fresh Menudo in my area. I will definitely try doctoring it up. I dice up scarano peppers, fresh cilantro and lime it's good stuff! Thanks for the tip!
reply

I ve done this for years too!
Only thing I do differently is I add the oregano to the menudo while it s still boiling
And I don t share! Lol
Love your cooking. Feel like we re friends!
