Slow Cooker Pork Mole
Report
This mole is made with pork, but can easily be substituted with chicken thighs or breasts. The flavor of chipotle and pork are one of my favorite combinations.

Ingredients
- 4 pounds pork sirloin bone-in
- kosher salt
- black pepper ground
- 4 red chile pods dried; California or New Mexico
- 1 corn tortilla
- 1 ounce can diced tomatoes
- 1 yellow onion quartered, medium
- 4 chipotle chiles in adobo sauce plus 1 tablespoon adobo sauce
- ¼ cup peanut butter creamy
- 1 .3 ounce tablet Mexican chocolate
- 6 garlic smashed and peeled, cloves
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ cup chicken broth
Optional:
- sopes pre-made
- avocado pitted, peeled, and sliced
- queso fresco crumbled
Instructions
- Season both sides of the pork with salt and pepper and place in the slow cooker.
- Remove stems, seeds, and veins from the chile pods. In a medium saucepan, bring dried chiles and 1 cup of water to a boil over high heat. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for about 5 minutes until the chiles have softened. Place softened chiles in a blender and discard water.
- Place corn tortilla over an open flame and cook until burnt and crispy. Cut up and place in blender.
- Place all of the remaining ingredients in a blender and blend on high until you have a smooth consistency, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Pour the sauce into the slow cooker over pork.
- Cook for 6 to 8 hours on low.
- Transfer the cooked pork to a cutting board, and using two forks, shred the meat, discard the bones, and return meat to slow cooker.
- To assemble, place a warm sope on a serving plate; spoon on some pork mole, slices of ripe avocado, and crumbled queso fresco.
