The elopozole is a typical broth from the state of Guerrero, where it is very popular for lunch. It is usually prepared during the corn harvest and includes zucchini, epazote, chicken or pork, and lime juice, it has an irresistible flavor!

At Kiwilimon, we wanted to pay homage to this Mexican broth, so we prepared a version with our own touch. It is made with very accessible ingredients like tender corn kernels, pork spine, garlic, onion, chili, and more. Take advantage of the season and prepare this delicacy!
