  • 6 cloves garlic, finely chopped

Instructions
1
Gather all necessary ingredients for the recipe.
2
Begin by preparing the soup: Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a rolling boil. Introduce tripe into the boiling water, then decrease the heat and let it simmer for 2 hours. During this time, periodically remove excess fat that rises to the surface of the liquid; discard it. After 2 hours, drain the tripe and rinse it with fresh water.
3
Next, prepare the soup further: Pour 1 gallon of water over the tripe in the pot and bring it to a boil. Add diced onion, minced garlic, sliced red pepper, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 1 hour.
4
Simultaneously, prepare the árbol chiles: Set an oven rack 6 inches from the heat source and preheat your oven's broiler. Arrange árbol chiles on a baking sheet and place them under the broiler, allowing them to lightly scorch for about 2 minutes. Remove them from the oven and slit them lengthwise, then carefully remove their seeds.
5
Now blend the árbol chiles with japones chiles in a blender or food processor until they are finely minced. Add the blended chile mixture to the pot with the soup and continue cooking over low heat for 2 hours.
6
Meanwhile, cook the hominy: Mix it into the pot with the soup and let it cook over low heat for 1 hour. Serve the soup hot, garnished with chopped cilantro, diced onion, and lime wedges on the side.
