Mole Chicken Tacos Recipe

MOLE CHICKEN TACOS RECIPE

Chicken Mole is a popular and richly delicious Mexican stew served with warm corn tortillas. But there is no reason why you can't make quick and easy Mole Chicken Tacos using the same ingredients. This recipe calls for already-roasted chicken, minced onion and lettuce and a warm mole sauce. I prefer the best corn tortillas you can find, or if you prefer, you can use small wheat tortillas or the new tortillas made with a blend of whole wheat and corn.
Chicken Mole Tacos
1 16 oz jar Larry's Southwestern Mole Sauce or your favorite mole sauce
1 pound shredded or cubed baked or roasted chicken
12 corn or whole wheat tortillas
1 medium white or red onion finely chopped
3 cups finely shredded lettuce or green cabbage.
(Bagged undressed cole slaw works great)

1. Warm the jar of Larry's Southwestern Mole Sauce in a medium cooking pot.
2. Add the chicken and cook until thoroughly warmed.
3. Warm the tortillas in the microwave or on the stove top until just soft and pliable.
4. Fill each tortilla with a scoop of chicken mole, a sprinkle of onion and lettuce or cabbage and serve.
5. Each person gets 3 tacos.
Serves 4.

Customer Comments: Loves Larry's Mole

Dear Larry,

Last night we had your mole sauce with chicken. It was the first time I've had chicken mole since I left my parent's home fifty years ago. Your mole is really good!

Many thanks.
