Our administrator thinks his mother is the best cook in the world. So when I mentioned that I'd had this great dish at a restaurant, and he mentioned that mole is so easy the way his mother does it, I needed the recipe. I've made it many times and maybe Carlos is right: his mother just might be the best cook! So simple, but tasty as all get out.
