Turkey Mole Tacos
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 25 min. Cook: 20 min.
YIELD: 6 servings.
In contrast to traditional tacos, these taste complete as is, without further garnishes or sauces. I’ve also made this using bite-sized pieces of chicken thighs and increasing the cooking time appropriately. —Helen Glazier, Seattle
