Mole Pork Tacos
Yield: 6 servings
This Mole Pork Tacos recipe features tender pork tenderloin and an easy shortcut mole sauce that's unbelievably delicious. My family can't get enough!
Equipment
Ingredients
- ¼ cup chicken stock
- ¼ cup prepared mole
- 1 chipotle pepper in adobe
- ½ tab 46 g Mexican hot chocolate, roughly chopped
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 pounds pork tenderloin silver skin removed, cubed into 1" pieces
- 12 tortillas
- 1 avocado pitted, peeled, and sliced
- fresh cilantro
- shredded Mexican cheese
- 1 lime sliced into wedges
- pickled red onions
Instructions
- Set broiler to high. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with heavy foil and set aside.
- In a blender or food processor, combine chicken stock, mole, chipotle pepper, Mexican hot chocolate, and salt. Blend until smooth.
- In a large bowl, toss pork with the mole mixture until evenly coated. Spread out pork on the prepared pan.
- Broil the pork for 10 minutes, turning half-way through. While the pork is in the oven, warm the tortillas in a microwave or lightly char them over a gas flame on the stovetop.
- Serve mole pork in warm tortillas, garnished with your favorite toppings, such as avocado, cilantro, and a sprinkle of Mexican cheese. I, of course, always need some freshly squeezed lime and my favorite pickled red onions!
