I’ve made this cheater pozole several times but this time was the best. - add jalapeño, salt, and pepper to the sofrito - fresh oregano and add a bay leaf + 1tsp salt at the broth part and let sit for at least 30min - I happened to have leftover Mexican pinto beans (which had other spices, tomatoes, and chipotles in adobo) I put in which I think helped - more like 1/4c salsa verde if you used canned like my lazy ass, it’s very acidic All this allowed the soup to pretend it took hours to make, neat.
