I’ve searched the webs. Recipes obviously have some standard ingredients, but overall seem all over the place. I’m sure that’s just how “mole” is. It’s not really one thing.
Anyone with a good recipe? The more detailed the better.

Look up Rick Bayless Mole on YouTube. I’ve never made one but it doesn’t look difficult. Just more of knowing the ingredients and some processes. Won’t require precision cooking talent.

Chicken Mole Enchiladas

I've tried this recipe and it is really good. Not too difficult either.

1 tsp ground allspice
1 tsp cinnamon
1tsp cayenne
2 tbsp honey
3oz mexican hot chocolate mix
4 corn tortillas
?2 quarts chicken stock


roast tomatoes, tomatillos, onion, jalepeno, garlic
remove stems and seeds from chilis, cut into small strips
fry(bacon fat/lard) chilis and raisins until softened
remove chilis and raisins to blender(or food processor)
fry(bacon fat/lard) nuts until toasted
toast tortillas
add nuts and tortillas to blender with the chilis.
add 6cups chicken stock and blend thoroughly
cover bottom of pot with bacon fat and heat to sizzling
pour mixture back into pot and allow to fry
add roasted veg to blender with 2 cups stock and blend thoroughly

This turned out great
Very rich, very earthy
Served with green rice (cilantro, green onion, tomatillos) and roasted sweet potatoes
Definitely recommend
