Mole chichilo

Mole chichilo is a traditional sauce originating from Oaxaca as one of the seven moles of Oaxaca. This mole is usually made with ingredients such as chilhuacle chili peppers, ancho chili peppers, tomatoes, tomatillos, garlic, avocado leaves, cloves, cumin, beef stock, black peppercorns, corn tortillas or corn flour for thickening, allspice, lemon juice, and lard.

Every household in Oaxaca has their own version of the sauce. The ingredients are ground and simmered until the mole develops the consistency of liquid salsa, as this mole is not as thick as other moles. Once prepared, traditionally for special occasions, mole chichilo is served over beef and cooked vegetables, and it's often accompanied by rice and green string beans.
