No! Not Mole Tacos, Mole Tacos!
It's the delicious dark brown sauce made out of...
Moles!......
Just kidding again...
It actually comes out of a jar:
There are numerous recipes for mole. The original Mole Poblano comes from a convent in Puebla, Mexico.
How such a delicious sauce could be invented by nuns I do not know!...
Some mole recipes have more than 20 ingredients. Mostly it is made with lots of different spices, chili peppers, and chocolate.
Ok, so if you buy mole in a jar it is in the form of a thick paste.
You add water and then stir and cook over low heat. Initially it will be pretty watery, but as it simmers the sauce will thicken.
You can add various ingredients to the mole to add your own signature flavor.
Steve wouldn't reveal his mole secrets to me, but I know he adds some peanut butter and cayenne pepper.
While the mole is stewing prepare the tacos.
It's easiest to just shred a precooked roasted chicken:
Then fry up some chicken rolled tacos....
Behold the finished rich, thick, spicy, chocolaty goodness!
Top tacos with mole sauce and serve with rice and beans!
Muy delicioso!
"Aye Aye Aye!"
