"VERY tasty with a full bodied flavor. I was quite pleased. My kids liked it too! NOTE: If doubling the recipe, I did not double the chocolate, I used 1 1/2 ounces. I cheated and used a rotisserie chicken, Inspired by a Weight Watchers recipe. Use fat free or light ingredients to lower the calorie content."

I love how this mole is quick and easy, but packs the flavor punch too. Make sure to spoon some of the sauce over the chicken before you roll up your burrito, that's the best part. I had leftover a little chicken and a lot of sauce (which is really yummy and I did not want to waste it), so I added cooked potatoes and vegetables to it, and liked it even better that way! I think you could even sub tofu if you were to use the sauce in that way.

Hi there! Originally CHICAGOLAND CHEF DU JOUR, I like to think of myself as a fantastic home cook with a flair for the gourmet. I have gotten & shared many recipes since I became a member in 2007. Although I have not been active in a few years, I still return to look for recipes from some of my fave chefs. Thanks to all you have helped me over the years and thanks a bunch to any and all reviews.
