1

Clean the tripe and beef thoroughly, removing excess fat and impurities piece by piece.

Once cleaned, place the tripe in a container and add salt, apple cider vinegar, and lime juice. Let it sit for about 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, rinse the tripe and beef under clean water until the water runs clear.

4

In a large pot, add the cleaned tripe and beef, covering them with enough fresh water.

5

Bring the pot to a boil and let it cook for approximately 30 minutes.

6

While the meat is cooking, peel and prepare the vegetables: clean the huisquil, corn, carrots, yuca, potatoes, and zucchini, cutting them into pieces and placing them in a separate container.

7

Prepare the guajillo chiles by removing the seeds and soaking them in hot water.

8

After 30 minutes, check the tripe for tenderness; if tender, add the prepared vegetables to the pot.

Add the blended mixture of guajillo chiles, onion, and garlic to the pot, along with salt, black pepper, and oregano.

10

Cover the pot and let it cook for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

After 1 hour, add the corn and let it cook for another 15 minutes before adding the yuca.

12

After 15 minutes, add the carrots, then after 3 minutes, add the huisquil, potatoes, zucchini, and finally the cabbage.

13

Let everything cook together until the vegetables are tender, ensuring not to add any additional water.
