These Molé Nachos Especiales are classic fiesta food, and a delicious game day, or any day, appetizer!
Oftentimes, people’s experience with molé comes from a commercially prepared product loaded with oil and overly sweet. Even if you find one you like, it isn’t in the same league as the real thing done from scratch.
When molé is made from scratch, no matter what regional version you’re tasting, the sauce will offer a complexity that is spun into harmony with rehydrated chiles, nuts and seeds, corn and sometimes chocolate.
Seriously, these Molé Nachos Especiales are not only allergy-friendly, but love at first bite!

We are hooked on molé!
Each region in Mexico has it’s own slant on specific ingredients and methods. These sauces can be red, black, green or yellow. Molé poblano from the town of Puebla is probably the most famous.
When it’s made from scratch, no matter what regional version you’re tasting, the sauce offers a complexity that is spun into harmony with rehydrated chiles, nuts and seeds, corn and sometimes chocolate.
We’ve omitted peanuts, tree nuts and sesame seeds to equal “allergy-friendly” with the same great taste!

In fact, long time pesticide exposure has absolutely been linked to dozens of health problems, including certain cancers, asthma, depression and anxiety, symptoms of ADHD, autism, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and a multitude of other issues.
