Recipe Note

Pozole used to take me hours to make and something I could only do on the weekends when time allowed. Red pozole is traditionally made with pork but I've never loved it, so I came up with a vegetarian version and in my Instant Pot® so that I could have it any day of the week. Don't forget the toppings! I suggest cubed avocado, sliced radish, shredded cabbage, and lime wedges.
