1

Season chicken legs with salt.

2

Start to fry the guajillo and pasilla chiles in hot oil until they are golden, being careful not to burn them.

3

Remove the chiles quickly from the oil to avoid bitterness.

4

Fry the bread until golden brown in the same oil.

5

Add chopped onion and garlic to the frying pan.

6

Fry until the onion is softened.

7

Add sesame seeds to the frying pan and fry briefly.

8

Put the fried ingredients into a bowl and add hot water to soak the chiles for about 30 minutes.

9

After soaking, blend the chiles with the fried ingredients until smooth.

10

In a separate pot, add 2 cups of white rice with a little oil and fry until it changes color.

11

Blend 2 tomatoes and half an onion with some water until smooth, then add to the pot with the fried rice.

Add 2 cups of water to the rice mixture and 1 teaspoon of nor Suiza seasoning.

Season the rice with salt to taste and stir.

14

Cover the pot and let the rice cook until fluffy, about 10 minutes.

Check the rice occasionally and adjust the heat to prevent burning.

16

Once the chiles are softened, blend them with the other ingredients until smooth, adding water if necessary to achieve the right consistency.

17

Pour the blended mole into a pot and simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
