Ingredients


  • 8 Guerrero® Homestyle Soft Tacos, warmed
  • 1.3kg boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 4 Roma tomatoes, halved
  • 1 medium onion, cut into quarters
  • 4 dried ancho chiles, stemmed and seeded
  • 6 garlic cloves, peeled
  • ⅓ cup toasted sesame seeds
  • 4 chipotles in adobo sauce
  • 3 tbsp. cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp cloves
  • 1 bunch radishes, thinly sliced
  • Chopped coriander

Method


1. Preheat the grill. Line a baking sheet with foil.

2. Place tomatoes, onion, chillis, and garlic on a baking sheet. Grill until all ingredients are toasted. Chillis will be ready first, after about 1 minute. The remaining ingredients will take about 10 minutes to blacken. Transfer tomatoes, onion, chiles, and garlic to a blender.

3. In a blender add sesame seeds, chipotles, cocoa powder, salt, pepper, cumin, cinnamon, cloves, and ½ cup water and blend until smooth. Pour into a slow cooker.

4. Place chicken in a slow cooker and turn to coat in mole. Cover and cook on low until chicken is cooked through, 4-5 hours. Transfer chicken to a cutting board and shred with 2 forks. Toss chicken in mole sauce.

5. Serve chicken with tortillas and top with radishes and coriander.
