Mole coloradito

Mole coloradito is a traditional sauce originating from Oaxaca as one of the seven moles of Oaxaca. This mole is usually made with ingredients such as onions, celery, garlic, carrots, chili peppers, thyme, allspice, black peppercorns, cloves, cinnamon, tomatoes, marjoram, bread, raisins, cumin, sesame seeds, mashed sweet plantains, and dark chocolate.

Every household in Oaxaca has their own version of the sauce. The ingredients are ground and simmered until the mole becomes thick. Once prepared, mole coloradito should be brick-red in color, with spicy, smoky, tangy, and sweet flavors. This sauce is typically served with poultry.
