  • Peel the xoconostles and cut them in half to remove all the seeds, making sure they are thoroughly cleaned. Then cut those halves again until you have 4 pieces per xoconostle.
  • In a pressure cooker, add the meat, corn, xoconostle, 5 cloves of garlic, half an onion, salt, and pepper to taste. Add water up to the pot's mark and cook for approximately 30 minutes.
  • Cool and remove the onion and garlic.
  • Peel the carrots, chayote, and potatoes, and cut them into cubes of about 3 cm.
  • Cut the zucchinis into 5 cm cubes, slightly larger than the other vegetables.
  • Add the potatoes, zucchini, chayote, and carrots to the meat cooking broth and cook on low heat for 15 minutes.
  • Clean the chiles very well, remove the veins and seeds, and fry them in oil until lightly browned. With the same oil, fry the finely chopped remaining onion, garlic, and diced tomato.
  • Blend the ingredients from the previous step together with the meat cooking broth.
  • Add the epazote leaves for 10 minutes, adjust seasoning, and serve with lime. Accompany with tortillas.
