Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons chopped garlic
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Ground black pepper
- 1 jar prepared mole
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro leaves
- 24 tortilla cups, recipe follows
- Sour cream, for garnish
- Cilantro leaves, for garnish
Directions
Pour the olive oil into a skillet and place over high heat. Add the garlic and saute until golden, about 2 minutes. Add the pork, season with salt and pepper, and saute until cooked through, about 7 minutes. Add 6 tablespoons mole and water and continue to cook, stirring, until the mixture is thick.
To assemble, fill each tortilla cup with the pork mole. Top with sour cream and a cilantro leaf. Serve warm.
Tortilla Cups:
- 8 (8-inch) round flour tortillas
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Special equipment: pastry brush, 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter, 24 cup mini muffin tin
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Place the tortillas in the microwave, cover with a damp cloth and microwave on high for 30 seconds. Remove and keep covered. Take 1 tortilla from the stack and place it on a flat surface. Brush both sides with the olive oil and, using the biscuit cutter, cut out 3 rounds. Press 1 into each of the muffin cups. Repeat until all the cups are filled. Place the tin in the oven and bake until the cups are crispy and slightly brown, about 7 to 10 minutes. Remove the cups from the tin and set aside to cool. Store at room temperature until ready to serve.

I thought these were just ok, I loved the look of them though. Maybe I didn't pick the right brand of mole. Seemed like something was missing...salsa, guacamole...some other seasoning?

My co-workers are avid eaters and I enjoy trying new receipes on them...they started eating these at 9:30 a.m!!! second passing of the tray started an hour later...GONZO by 10:31 a.m. Great flavor, needed a little bit more water and salt than stated...added cilantro after removing from heat instead of using as garnish to make it less tedious..my suggestion..use "tostitos scoops" instead of making your own tortilla cups...ole!

So happy when I saw this recipe. I have been craving tacos and had frozen ground pork left from Tyler's Ultimate Meatballs. Used Trader Joe's Red Mole and all the condiments for tacos. Great. Also, reminded us of Cinn. 5-Way Chili. Could use it for that also.
Will use leftover pork mole mixture with scrambled eggs and salsa for breakfast tomorrow.
