Reviews
Was disappointing…. I was going for a traditional tasting mole…the flavor was okay but definitely not a mole taste at all..there was lot of liquid which made the taco on the running side .. not like the traditional thicker mole sauce that I’m used to ..there was no spice at all..however the meat was tender and juicy which is why I gave this recipe two stars .. Sadly I won’t be making this again
The recipe was VERY EASY, turkey tender, moist, perfect paired with a nice salad. I had to double all the spices in order to get a more flavorful combo, and added some salt. It was VERY BLAND without changes. I was shocked to see how much liquid accumulated at the end as even with a slotted spoon, it was much too wet and would soak through the shells. It has potential, but needs a lot more spices and SALT
My husband and I loved this recipe. It was easy and the meat came out perfectly.
So yummy! Great for pot lucks with plenty of left overs. I use powdered peanut butter rather than regular and it works great.
Absolutely disgusting. I made this exactly to the recipe. But, neither my wife or I could eat more than a bite of it. Texture wise it was a sloppy mess. As far as taste goes, it had plenty of flavor. It just wasn’t a good flavor. The combination of spices and cocoa powder created a vaguely cocoa, vaguely cinnamon, vaguely muddy flavor. Not appetizing at all. Normally when recipes don’t turn out how I want I have ideas on how I can improve them. I have no idea where to even start with this one.
Really easy to make and was delicious!
Almost tasteless. Extremely bland. I think that this recipe has potential, but needs far more herbs and/or spices to make this recipe come together.
I am not a cook by any means…
My husband LOVED it!
My husband LOVED it!
This is great! I added some chipotles in adobo sauce to add some depth and it was lovely. My mole hating husband even though it was yummy!
