It is no secret that chilies are a staple of traditional Mexican cuisine. What few people know is that Mexicans cook a lot with a delicious variety of dried chilies.
Chocolate is native to Mexico. The Aztecs prepared it in drinks and dishes by combining it with different spices, a tradition that has lived on to this day. The most representative example of the use of chocolate in a main dish is mole poblano, an unsweetened chocolate sauce made from a mixture of various chiles, nuts, tomatoes and spices.

Their variety is characterized by regional peculiarities and is at least as extensive as the Mexican territory. Here we offer you a simple recipe from Central Mexico, where stews are usually prepared with chilies, tomatoes and pork.
