140301molechile-1The other day I was really craving a mole chili. I had no idea if it even existed but thanks to the internet I found out rather quickly.

And sure enough it existed! The recipe called for turkey but that was super easy to adapt—just add more beans!

Next time I think I’ll alter the spices a little bit more, don’t get me wrong it was delicious but could’ve had a bigger chili flavor.
