Easy Mexican Mole

Make this cheats version of the classic sauce for tacos, burritos or rice bowls.

Enough for two people.

Ingredients

Fire roasted chopped tomatoes, drained, 1 14.5oz can
Chipotle peppers in spicy adobo sauce, 1 7oz can
Cumin powder 1 teaspoon
Cinnamon 1 teaspoon
Chili flakes ½ teaspoon
Dark chocolate 1oz (28g) (for a vegan sauce use a vegan chocolate)
Olive oil
Water

Method

1. Heat a medium sized frying pan over a medium heat. Add a splash of olive oil and the drained chopped tomatoes.

2. Chuck in two whole chipotle peppers (more if you want it really spicy) and break them down with the back of the wooden spoon. Add two or three teaspoons of the adobo sauce, followed by all the spices.

3. Add some water if the sauce is too thick and paste-like, let it simmer over a low/medium heat for about 10 minutes.

4. Turn the heat down to low and add the chocolate, stir until melted. Adjust the consistency of the sauce by adding a splash of more water if needed.

Sour cream 2/3 Cup (150g)
1 Egg
5 Tablespoons grapeseed oil
3 Tablespoons milk

Fresh herbs such as rosemary or thyme, chopped (optional)

Method

1. Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl to form a dough that isn’t too sticky to handle.

2. Knead for a couple of minutes & divide into 6-8 portions.

3. Wrap the dough around a stick in a long spiral.

4. Bake over hot embers. Keep turning the stick slowly until the bread is golden brown, about 10 minutes.
