Mole is a traditional Mexican sauce known for its complex and rich flavors. The ingredients can vary widely depending on the specific type of mole (e.g., Mole Poblano, Mole Negro, Mole Rojo), but here are common ingredients found in many mole recipes: 1. **Chilies**: Various dried chilies such as ancho, pasilla, mulato, and chipotle. 2. **Chocolate**: Often Mexican chocolate, which is less sweet and has a grainy texture. 3. **Spices**: Cumin, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, and sometimes anise. 4. **Seeds and Nuts**: Sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, peanuts, and almonds. 5. **Fruits**: Raisins, plantains, and sometimes prunes or apricots. 6. **Vegetables**: Tomatoes, tomatillos, onions, and garlic. 7. **Thickeners**: Bread, tortillas, or masa (corn dough). 8. **Broth**: Chicken or vegetable broth to create the sauce base. 9. **Aromatics**: Epazote, hoja santa, and Mexican oregano. These ingredients are typically toasted, blended, and simmered together to create the rich, deep flavors characteristic of mole.

Chocolate came from Mexico in the 1500s. Chocolate wasn't sweetened or had milk added like candy bars. Europeans did that. It's a savory ingredient in some Mexican mole sauces. And before you ask, that's pronounced "molay" and is NOT made with moles! Mole goes well with beef, chicken and yes, cheese.

An interesting fact about Mole sauce is that the sauce is arguably one of the most complex sauces out there, some will have around 20 ingredients in the sauce while others will have over 40. Some can have over 100... But those recipes are rarely used because it's a pain to make.

[@capitalhillproductions9790]

Yes, chili peppers can give you a high feeling due to the compound capsaicin. When you consume chili peppers, capsaicin binds to pain receptors in your mouth, causing a burning sensation. In response, your body releases endorphins and dopamine, which are natural painkillers and mood enhancers, creating a temporary feeling of euphoria, often referred to as a "chili high."

[@JeanneFeisont]

As a Texan, can confirm that Tex-Mex is the best food ever, and you want to come to Texas to experience it, not anywhere else. Usually smaller family owned joints are best but even the bigger tex-mex chains have some goodness.

What they are eating at the very beginning are various kinds of salsa. Queso is a melted and spiced cheese sauce. The first dish looked to be birria tacos. Birria is a slowly braised, spiced meat, served with a consomme' for dipping. The second dish is carnitas, which is a stewed, pulled pork that is fried in lard before serving. The last one is chicken mole rojo. Moles are a class of Mexican sauces with roots in pre-contact cuisine. They feature a mix of many ingredients, generally including chiles, nuts, seeds, dried fruits, plantains, and spices. Some include unsweetened chocolate, usually Mexican chocolate. The flavor is complex and not easy to describe. Texas was originally part of Mexico. Tex-Mex was the style of Mexican food that used local ingredients. It has evolved into a varied hybrid cuisine that includes the many cultural influences of modern Texas.

200 years ago my ancestors moved to Mexico into the northern territory of Texas and became Mexican citizens. The foods they developed and ate there became a regional variant of the Mexican cuisine based on the availability of food ingredients - thus Tex-Mex. Likewise Clam Chowder and Crab Cakes are a New England variant of US cuisine, Beer Brats, Buckeyes, and Chicago Dogs are a Mid-West variant of US cuisine, and Pan Fried Chicken, Black Eyed Peas, and Cornbread are a Southern variant of US cuisine. 100 years ago my Great Grandfather owned and ran a Tex-Mex Cafe and Tamales were his best selling dish. I grew up in Texas eating Tamales (my dad's favorite food), Tacos, Fajitas, Brisket, Fried Chicken, Black Eyed Peas, and Cornbread, and my favorite dish that my mom made: Tamale Pie. Even though my DNA test came back as 70% British, when I travelled through England 20 years ago I knew nothing about such things as Meat Pies, Blood Pudding, and Bangers and Mash. My cultural heritage is Mexican - American (or Tex-Mex) - its who we are. We buy Cacao Powder (most people call it Cocoa) by the pound as a spice rather than as chocolate. And yes we do mix it with Sugar or Honey and Cinnamon to make "Mexican" Chocolate, and from that desserts and hot chocolate. And YES - Queso (or technically Chili Con Queso) is awesome!

You can then use the birria for all kinds of dishes. I know one of the things the lady said she had was the chicken mole (mo-LAY). Mole means "sauce". There's endless variations of mole, but It's a Mexican style cooked chili sauce, commonly made of tomatoes, chilies, and all kinds of spices, can include chocolate, and it's used all kinds of ways. If she tasted cinnamon, was probably made with Abuelita Mexican hot chocolate tablets. (Mexican style hot chocolate usually has cinnamon & chili powder in it) The only thing I can think of that would sound close to "cheesy chocolate" would be a cheese enchilada or cheese taco, and it could be just how the little girl said it in toddler-speak, lol

Yes Adam, they use chocolate in the mole sauce....pronounce 'mole (as in the rodent) and ay (as in eight)' Mole is a complex sauce usually combining 30 or more ingredients. It is something you HAVE to try!

[@davidrowell]

Adam: Lots of good comments... FYI before Texas was a state in the USA it was part of Mexico. Adios Amigo... P.S. Oh yeah. As a North Texan I just wanted to say howdy!

[@brandonletzko4239]

Tex-Mex is a style of cuisine of the American Southwest. It is available all over the country. Of course, you could get these ingredients and a Tex-Mex cookbook and try it all.

“Tex-Mex Texas Mexico” 😂 I’m so proud of you Adam. FYI, each boarder state has their own twist to “Mexican” food. I was born and raised in Northern CA moved to Texas almost 39 years ago…totally different tastes. New Mexico has a lovely flare also.

Cinnamon is used in mexican cooking, german and i use some in the spice rub i make for when i make spare ribs oh and on french toast, sorry in french toast.

Hey Adam she was eating chips and different type of salsas ,dips. they bring them to table b4 your meal..its free..Queso is so good..hope you get to try soon

[@Awood2207]

Queso is basically spanish for cheese. But Queso Dip is just cheese and tomatoes with green or red chili peppers, and depending on the person it can have either sausage or ground beef included. Queso Dip is often called Rotel Cheese Dip and it's just the same thing with a different name. I personally use Velveeta Cheese, Rotel (tomatoes w/green chilis), Cream Cheese, Sweet Corn, and Jimmy Dean ground breakfast sausage in mine. Also, if you are going to the US...I highly recommend you try authentic Biscuits and Gravy...those will change your life.

The look on his face was amazing hahah 😂 made me lmao

[@jamesstarkey9955]

[@thelifewithburd]

"Bira Tacos" You can get in lots of states, it comes with the juice in a side cup, which is the meat juices and some times extra spices to dip tacos in. yellow Queso is Fire on pizza! Cheers

[@azianbetty]

Man, those birra tacos with consumè lol so good

[@mindajane]

As a Texan, I can tell you TexMex is incredible! It's my favorite type of food. Queso is cheese sauce but it's so good!

[@manic3376]

Tex-Mex are the foods that developed along the boarder and in both places. It is what many think of as Mexican food, but really is Northern Mexican/South Western US food. Mexico has a wide variety of cuisine like any country, depending on location.

[@USAFACAP]

I can't wait to see how your trip over here goes, I hope you have a blast! ❤

[@dariadykyj2179]

I also love refries (mashed beans and fried in pork fat) with another side of Mexican rice!

[@Wiley_Coyote]

It's unsweetened chocolate. Been used for about a 1000 years in that part of the world as a savory ingredient. By itself you probably wouldn't want to eat unsweetened chocolate, but it's in a base of many other ingredients and tastes amazing.

[@LAM-p6g]

Queso is melted cheese ( nacho cheese or Velveeta cheese) and salsa mixed together. I add cream cheese and hamburger meat to mine. The "soup" are charro beans. It's amazing if they are cooked right.

[@catlady443]

It's the seeds in the peppers that make them so hot. Just remove the seeds if you are looking with them. I recommend you do it under cold running water

[@tj_2701]
