1.5 C of shredded turkey or chicken per person.5 C cheese (either a queso fresco or jack cheese – crumbled or grated)
1/8 C jalapeno pepper, seeded and fine chopped
9oz sani-pack of Dona Maria Mole
white or toasted sesame seeds for topping
Mix the above ingredients in a bowl and with your hands or large spoon form large haystack like clumps. These can be done baked in individual casseroles or collectively in a shallow baker pan. Arrange your “haystacks” in the pan of preference. Smother each with mole sauce and sprinkle with sesame seed. Bake in slow oven (325) for 25 minutes until bubbly.
Serving suggestions include corn chips and a chopped guacamole salad.Note – They are several kinds of instant “moles”. Green Mole has pepins and mild chili peppers as its base. Red Mole is a robust full chili flavor but usually not too hot. The Dark Mole is velvety, smoked pepper with hints of chocolate. Try all three for a South of the Border change up at meal time.
