Preparation
Soak guajillo chili peppers in 2 cups of hot water for an hour.
Add water to a large pot and bring it to a boil. Once it starts simmering, add bouillon paste to dissolve in water. Stir to dissolve.
Blend soaked chili peppers in a blender along with garlic, the water they were soaking in, and 1/2 tbsp salt. Blend well and strain into the pot of simmering broth.
Add hominy into the pot and simmer on low for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, as the pozole is simmering, prep the jackfruit. Open cans of jackfruit, drain and rinse. Pat dry with a towel and shred using your hands.
In a mixing bowl, combine shredded jackfruit with tamari/soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, maple syrup, and avocado oil.
Air-fry, bake, or pan-fry the jackfruit for about 15 minutes or until golden brown and slightly crispy. Set aside.
Taste the pozole and adjust salt if needed. After 30 minutes, serve in bowls. Top off with shredded jackfruit, chopped onions, shredded cabbage, sliced radishes, chili oil, and enjoy!
