In Oaxaca there are 7 characteristic moles, among the most traditional is the yellow mole or yellow mole since it is distinguished by having that yellow color with a certain red tone traditionally made with yellow chile chilhuacle but in this case we will make it with guajillo chile with miltomate, tomato spiced with oregano, cumin, cloves and with corn dough to thicken it. This rich mole can be made with chicken or pork and it is also accompanied with chayote, green beans, pumpkin and chochoyotas that are corn balls that give a very special touch.
