Description

How to make Quick & Easy Mole Rojo Sauce  (aka Red Mole) with amazing flavor in under 20 minutes! Use this with meat, tofu, beans, or as a flavorful sauce for enchiladas, burritos, taco meat, or taquitos! Makes 2 1/2 cups. 


Ingredients

Scale

Quick Mole Sauce: 


Instructions

  1. Blend. Place all the ingredients (EXCEPT the chocolate, tahini paste and sesame seeds) in a blender. Blend until very smooth.
  2. Cook the Sauce. Place this blended Mole sauce in a medium pot, bring it to a simmer over medium heat, and cover (it will splatter!), lower heat to medium-low, and simmer 10 minutes. Stir in tahini sauce and chocolate until melted and combined.
  3. Taste, adjust salt and sweetness. Add 1-3 teaspoons of agave or maple syrup if necessary (some chocolate is sweeter than others), or add more chipotle for heat, a splash more soy sauce for depth (or salt, or a bouillon cube!)  Make sure you can taste a hint of cinnamon; if not add a little more.  You want a nice balance between salt, sweet, spicy, with depth. 
  4. To loosen the sauce, add more stock or water until desired consistency.
  5. Use with chicken, enchiladas, beans,  and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

The sauce will keep up to 5 days in the refrigerator and freezes well!
