Ingredients

  • ¼ cup chicken stock
  • ¼ cup prepared mole
  • 1 chipotle pepper in adobe
  • ½ tab 46 g Mexican hot chocolate, roughly chopped
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 pounds pork tenderloin silver skin removed, cubed into 1" pieces
  • 12 tortillas
  • 1 avocado pitted, peeled, and sliced
  • fresh cilantro
  • shredded Mexican cheese
  • 1 lime sliced into wedges
  • pickled red onions

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Set broiler to high. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with heavy foil and set aside.
  2. In a blender or food processor, combine chicken stock, mole, chipotle pepper, Mexican hot chocolate, and salt. Blend until smooth.
  3. In a large bowl, toss pork with the mole mixture until evenly coated. Spread out pork on the prepared pan.
  4. Broil the pork for 10 minutes, turning half-way through. While the pork is in the oven, warm the tortillas in a microwave or lightly char them over a gas flame on the stovetop.
  5. Serve mole pork in warm tortillas, garnished with your favorite toppings, such as avocado, cilantro, and a sprinkle of Mexican cheese. I, of course, always need some freshly squeezed lime and my favorite pickled red onions!
