Authentic Sunday Menudo

"The original Mexicancomfort food... great to nurse a hongover after you celebrate too much on Saturday nights or to just enjoy anytime. We make this for the day after all of our parties, weddings, etc. You'll love it... WARNING: it is a tad bit on the spicy side, but not too bad! If you can eat at most mexican food restaurants without whining, this will be fine for you. If you think mild salsa is hot, maybe try this w/o the pequins and the cayenne. Please review! :)"
