Chocolate in a chicken dish? Absolutely! It's the key ingredient to Mole, a classic Mexican sauce, and it is delicious when combined with cinnamon, chili powder and other seasonings. When made from scratch, this specialty is a labor of love—the spices are toasted, then ground and the sauce is slowly simmered for hours. Here, we’ve achieved the same wonderfully seasoned, rich tasting result using a more simplified, stovetop version. Branch out beyond these wraps make the sauce to use for enchiladas, tacos or as a stir-in for chili. Its beautiful complex flavor makes a delicious partner for beef dishes too.
