Mole de Queretaro

This mole from Queretaro is traditionally made with pasilla and ancho chili peppers as key ingredients. Although there are a few versions, apart from chili peppers, it typically includes toasted tortillas, chicken stock, peanuts, onions, bolillo bread, walnuts, almonds, lard, chocolate, raisins, and dry-roasted tomatoes.

It is enriched with a wide array of spices such as cumin, cloves, black pepper, allspice, and marjoram. Since Queretan mole is quite thick, it is usually spooned over chicken or turkey. When served, it is recommended to garnish this tasty mole with chopped coriander and nuts.
