At our restaurant, we like to greet our customers with a bowl of chips, drenched with our signature coloradito mole. It is always a delight watching our customers faces filled with gratitude and excitement as they dig into that first mole bite.
We highly encourage you do the same when welcoming guests into your home. A mole dip with chips is always a winner
Enfrijoladas are a staple breakfast dish in Oaxaca. To this day, it is our children's favorite meal at our restaurant (Guelaguetza). You can make the beans ahead of time. They keep great in the fridge for up to three days.

FOR THE BLACK BEANS :
Our chile pasilla adds the perfect amount of smoke and sublet heat to this chilaquiles recipe. It is the perfect weekend breakfast for the family. Serve with fried eggs, or crumbled fresh cheese on top. The recipe calls for a serrano pepper to up the heat, but feel free to omit if are looking for a milder sauce.
INGREDIENTS:
For the sauce:
2 dried chile pasillas, stems removed
1 serrano chile (optional)
1/4 cup white onion, roughly chopped
2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1 sprig of epazote or parsley
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
Be warned, that once you make refried beans like these, you’ll never want to eat canned beans ever again. Use them as a dip with tortilla chips, spread them on your quesadillas or on your next favorite Mexican sandwich.
Our secret ingredient is of course our dried avocado leaves. If you want to crank up the punch, toast them on a hot griddle for a few seconds on each side prior to blending them w the cooked beans.
Get ready for your next favorite bowl of chili (mole edition). We recommend this recipe with our Mole Coloradito paste, but works just as well with our Red Mole paste as well!
We love to use our mole paste in everything we can get our hands on, so it was only a matter of time until we cooked up a chicken wing recipe for all of you to enjoy. The combination of our mole coloradito paste, tamarind and hot sauce, compliment each other perfectly, making it a sure hit at any party. These wings are crunchy, savory, and have a subtle a hint of sweetness. Make sure to have a lot of napkins on-hand for your guests and enjoy!
Feel free to up the amount of hot sauce for an extra kick, and reserve a little of the coloradito-tamarind sauce to pour over French fries for a great side dish.
