I love Mexican cuisine! I can eat it all day everyday. So, I’ve decided to explore some of the recipes and ingredients from Chef’d, the meal kit delivery service. My first try is their Pork Mole Street Tacos. The recipe is from Frontera and here is their pitch for it:

Tacos just might be Mexico’s favorite street food. They are fuss-free, easy, and something you can devour with your hands. Our recipe brings Mexico’s flavor into your kitchen. Here a tender pork loin is simmered with Frontera red Chile mole sauce and then topped with a radish shallot salsa and tangy cotija cheese.

Here is the recipe for you to try. My family loved it. It has yummy, bold and spicy flavor, and is different from other pork taco recipes I’ve tried. Enjoy!

Kitchen 411 (from chef’d): Legend has it that in the late 17th century, the Convent of Santa Rosa in Puebla, Mexico heard that the archbishop was to pay a visit. The Sisters scrambled to put a meal together and gathered ingredients on hand – dried chili peppers, chocolate, bread and nuts – to make a sauce for wild turkey. The meal was a hit with the archbishop. Today, mole is one of Mexico’s most beloved dishes.

Finishing Touches

Slice the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pit. Cut flesh into 1/4 inch thin slices and set aside Heat a small sauté pan over high heat and once hot, add the tortillas one at a time Heat each side until warm and lightly toasted.

Serve and Enjoy

Divide flour tortillas between four plates. Place 1 to 2 tablespoons of pork mole inside flour tortillas. Top each taco with radish shallot salsa Sprinkle cotija cheese on each taco and top each taco with avocado slices Enjoy!
