What is chipotle pepper in adobe sauce? Should that be adobo?

Oopsy, thanks for catching that typo. It should be adobo. :)

What does this recipe have to do with Buffalo Bill? That was the link in the email that brought me here, but there is nothing on the page or in the video about Buffalo Bill. Ditto for all the other names in the list. It feels like 'bait and switch' to me.

I was looking for an easy dish to make using some wheat tortilla's I have in the fridge. Thanks for a great idea. You guys are the best.

A great mole sauce combines enchilada sauce + cocoa + cyanine pepper + garlic & cumin and cooked on low heat for 3 hrs for the best taste.

Can you add the measurements you use for your mole sauce please? Thank you.

Perfect! I have been craving Mexican food all summer, this is restaurant quality.

These look delicious. I love Mole and this looks like mole sauce. On TV Mr Ben used cumin not garlic . Which ingredient is correct?

Hi Mary, We watched the video again and there is no mention of cumin in this recipe. Howard combines enchilada sauce, chili powder, garlic powder and cocoa powder. Thank you!
