Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • ⅓ cup oil
Heat a third of a cup of oil in a pan over medium heat until a drop spatters.
Frying the rub in oil
  • 1 bottle mole rub
Add all of the mole rub at once and stir, turning the heat down a hair so it does not burn; cook a couple of minutes until the aroma turns toasty.
  • 1⅓ cup chicken stock
Add a cup and a third of chicken stock (or vegetable stock or water) and stir until combined.
Cover with the lid slightly askew and simmer over medium to medium-low about 20 minutes.
If the flavors have not mellowed, cook another 10 minutes.
  • sugar
Thin with a little more liquid to the consistency of a gravy; taste and add a little sugar to balance astringency and bring out the chilies.
  • pulled chicken
Stir in pulled rotisserie chicken until coated and heat through briefly.
  • 2 whole blue corn tortillas
  • crema
  • crumbled queso fresco
  • onions
  • cilantro
Put warm blue corn tortillas on a plate, spoon on the chicken in mole, and top with crema, crumbled queso fresco, onions and cilantro.
