Thoroughly cleaning the tripe is essential for the best flavor. Rinse it multiple times under cold water, scrubbing away any impurities. Adjust the amount of chili powder to control the spiciness of the Menudo. Start with a small amount and add more to taste. Menudo is traditionally served with a variety of garnishes, such as oregano, dried red pepper flakes, and lime wedges. Feel free to experiment and find your favorite combination. This soup tastes even better the next day as the flavors continue to develop. Store leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat gently before serving.
