Can someone tell me what the heck Mole is and where I would find it in the grocery store?

You can find it in a can on the Mexican food isle.

My boyfriend is Mexican so I know how that goes. They actually taste good. Of course not authentic Mexican Cuisine, but good for an at home family dinner.

it looks like green salsa well thicker so kind of like guacamole. It is gross...well at least I think so. SIL loves it she made it for me and I hated it. Husband hates it too. And really there is nothing my SIL makes tat I hate well except for this.

So your boyfriend liked it? Maybe I will give it a try. Also do I need the mole. I know someties if you don't add something it totally ruins it and maybe with everything else you won't really be able to taste it. I think I might try this with shreaded beef instead of ground beef. Thanks for the recipe.

This sounds really good.
My DH would love this recipe!
Thanks!

Question: Have you ever substituted shredded chicken?

Angie..........here you go.........I knew it had some kind of chocolate in it. Think I'd skip that part (the Mole), but the recipe sounds yummy!!!!


Food Lover's Companion: mole
[MOH-lay] From the Nahuatl molli, meaning "concoction," mole is a rich, dark, reddish-brown sauce usually served with poultry. There are many variations of this spicy Mexican specialty, usually depending on what's in the cook's kitchen. Generally, mole is a smooth, cooked blend of onion, garlic, several varieties of chiles, ground seeds (such as sesame seeds or pumpkin seeds-known as pepitas)****and a small amount of mexican chocolate, its best-known ingredient. (Some Americanized mole recipes use bitter chocolate.) The chocolate contributes richness to the sauce without adding overt sweetness.

I bet it would be good with shredded chicken~~I'm trying it with ground turkey first.
