\n\n\nThis is one of the rebels of the mole family, as it skips one of the main ingredients of this famous sauce: chocolate. Made with cilantro, green chili, and tomatillo, it resembles more of a green sauce. Pair green mole with chicken or pork and chayotes.\n\n

\n\n\nHere’s another transgressor of the moles that also doesn’t contain chocolate. This mole has a vibrant yellow color due to the yellow chilhuacle chiles it contains. To thicken the sauce, a little corn masa is added. The characteristic flavor of yellow mole comes from the hoja santa, which gives it an anise-like touch.\n\n

\n\n\n\nUnlike the other moles, chichilo mole has a liquid consistency. Although it also doesn't contain chocolate, it has a very special aroma from the chiles and the ashes of the tortillas and seeds that are toasted. This type of mole is usually served with beef.\n\n

\n\n\nThis mole is thick and rich in flavors due to the pineapple and plantain added to the sauce. In fact, it is common for the dish to be served with large slices of fried plantain. Depending on the state where you try it, it can be accompanied by chicken, hen, pork, or turkey.\n\n

Ah, mole! This delicious sauce made from chocolate and chili is a classic of Mexican cuisine and, of course, a staple in every Mexican kitchen. Although the main ingredients are generally the same, there are a few other varieties, did you know? If you still think that the varieties of mole are just the different brands of canned versions you can find at the supermarket, you urgently need to read this guide to Mexican mole:

Black Mole

This is perhaps one of the most well-known. It contains over 30 ingredients (chiles, spices, seeds, and herbs). The characteristic flavor of this type of mole comes from the combination of chocolate with cinnamon and plantain. For a black mole to be truly traditional, it must be fried in lard.

Start the day on the right foot. Rancheros with #BlackMole 👌🏻
