Homemade mole can be healthier with less sodium and preservatives.

Start by preparing the mole quickly for a celebration.

Use 250 g of mole paste from any brand you prefer, such as Doña María or Don Erasmo.

Prepare 1 ancho chili and 4 guajillo chilis, cleaned and soaked.

Chop a piece of onion and 2 cloves of garlic for the mole.

Add 1/4 cup of peanuts (or nuts of your choice) to the mix.

Use 3/4 to 1 tablet of chocolate, soaked in hot chicken broth to ease blending.

Chop 2 tomatoes for the mole mixture.

Prepare 2 corn tortillas to be toasted.

In a pot, cook the chicken with celery, cilantro, carrot, garlic, onion, and bay leaves for flavor.

Use chicken thighs and drumsticks for better flavor, but you can use any chicken parts you prefer.

Sauté the tortillas first in oil to infuse flavor before blending with other ingredients.

Sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant, then add the chilis and peanuts to toast slightly.

Add the tomatoes to the sauté for a brief period to soften them.

Blend all the sautéed ingredients with chicken broth until smooth.

Pour the blended mole mixture over the cooked chicken in the pot.

Let the mole simmer with the chicken to meld flavors.
