Ingredients
- 5 dried pasilla chile peppers
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 cups chopped onions
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
- 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled
- 1 8-to-10-ounce bag tortilla chips
- 1 3.1-ounce disk Mexican chocolate, chopped
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1/2 to 1 cup grated Oaxaca cheese or monterey jack cheese
- 2 to 4 tablespoons Mexican crema or sour cream
- 2 to 4 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat the broiler. Stem and seed the chile peppers and soak in warm water until soft, about 15 minutes. Drain.
- Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a blender and add the chiles, chicken broth, peanut butter, sugar and oregano. Coarsely crumble 1/4 cup tortilla chips, add to the blender and puree until smooth. Return the mixture to the saucepan and simmer, stirring, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chocolate until melted. Season the mole with salt and pepper.
- Place the remaining tortilla chips in a baking dish. Pour about 2 cups mole on top (reserve the rest for dipping); sprinkle with the cheese. Broil until the cheese melts, about 2 minutes. Top with the crema and cilantro.
