Mole Sauce:* I went to a small local market to find chiles and Mexican chocolate. There was a much better chile selection than my local grocery store. I recommend
Ibarra chocolate. It’s traditionally used for Mexican hot chocolate. I grew up drinking it for special occasions.
* I recommend a mixture of chile peppers, but if you can’t find a variety, you can use all ancho peppers which are readily available.
Nachos:* Instead of canned beans you can cook up a batch of
Dried Black Beans.
* I used
cotija cheese which is a Mexican cheese with a similar flavor to feta. It's hard cheese, so you'll need to grate it. If you can’t find cotija, substitute crumbled feta.
* Recipe serves 4 as an appetizer and 2 as a main course.
* Recipe can be doubled using two cookie sheets. You can bake both and then broil each sheet individually.
