Today I had little man try some real mexican home cooking. I had him try Mole (mo-leh)!
Mole is a sauce typically used to pour over chicken but it can be used to make enchiladas, tamales, tacos and lots of other yummy stuff. I paired it up with my fave orange/red rice! It’s made out of all kinds of chiles and spices and even some chocolate to give it a sweet and spicy.
Ok ok so I cheated a little and bought the sauce spices already combined but hey it did taste homemade. It was the “just add chicken stock” kinda stuff. You can say it was like saying you made pancakes from the just add water box. Same difference!
Anyways, Little man normally has something with not so many spices since I don’t like to overwhelm him with different things all at once. Today I thought oh what the hell hes gonna have to learn to eat this stuff someday. No harm in trying right?
So this is Mole! I like to shred my chicken plus I figured it would be easier for little man to eat. When my husband first saw me prepare this dish when we first married he described it to his friends like this “It looks like poop but it taste really good” I took it as a compliment.
I really thought it might have been a little too spicy but he did great. Check him out! He loved it!
Not so bad for his first complete mexican meal.
