Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and tools you need. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling later on.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your mole will taste. If possible, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Toast the Spices: Toasting the spices before grinding them will help to release their flavor. You can toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes.
  • Use a Variety of Chiles: To create a complex and flavorful mole, use a variety of chiles. This recipe uses ancho, guajillo, and pasilla chiles, but you can also use chipotle, cascabel, or any other type of chile that you like.
  • Simmer the Mole: The mole should simmer for at least an hour, but longer is better. This will allow the flavors to develop and deepen.
  • Taste the Mole and Adjust the Seasoning: Before serving, taste the mole and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or chili powder.

Turkey mole tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. The mole is rich, flavorful, and complex, and it pairs perfectly with the tender turkey and crispy tortillas.
