Chamoyada
A chamoyada, also called mangonada, is a refreshing summer Mexican drink made with fresh mango and chamoy sauce. I like to add pineapple juice for a tropical twist. Garnish with a tamarind straw that you can get in Mexican stores and diced mango if desired.
Slow Cooker Chicken Mole
A dark, rich, complex-flavored mole recipe. I generally shred the chicken so it will soak up the mole sauce and serve it with warmed tortillas. It is always a hit with those who like spicy foods. This recipe can be played with easily to tailor it to your own level of hotness and/or cocoa/peanut flavor. Mole is a sauce that has a lot of variations. I've even served it as a dip with corn chips!
