Holy Mole

I fed the Nodlings Mole sauce (pronounced mo-lay) for the first time yesterday over chicken burritos. I also called it "chocolate burritos", since it does contain cocoa as one of its ingredients.

It's a tasty Mexican sauce, but if you've never had it, well, it's got some of the strangest ingredients: peppers, soybean oil, crackers, peanuts, sugar, and cocoa among others.

I expected the kids to not like it, but they surprised me: Wynken didn't like it but Blynken did (who doesn't like anything new); Nod-girl said it was "yucky" and then ate all of it and said I could make it again(?).

The Nodlings wanted to name the dish: chicken burritos with cheese, refried beans, salsa, red peppers, tomatoes, black olives, and mole sauce. So we came up with Holy Mole; partly because it rhymes (sorta) and partly because we said grace over it (as usual).
