Ingredients

1 15-ounce can no-salt-added diced tomatoes, drained

2 large carrots, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

1 green bell pepper, finely chopped

1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for topping

4 scallions, chopped, plus more for topping

2 tablespoons peanut butter

1 1/2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

1 tablespoon ancho chile powder

2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder or ground cinnamon

1 skinless, bone-in turkey breast (about 2 1/2 pounds)

18 corn tortillas

Directions

  1. Combine the tomatoes, carrots, bell pepper, cilantro, scallions, peanut butter, soy sauce, chile powder, cocoa powder and Chinese five-spice powder in a 6-quart slow cooker and stir to combine. Add the turkey and turn to coat. Cover and cook on low, 8 hours.
  2. Remove the turkey and transfer to a large plate; shred the meat with 2 forks, discarding the bone. Return the shredded turkey to the slow cooker and stir to coat.
  3. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or in the microwave. Serve the turkey in the tortillas and top with more cilantro and scallions.

Was disappointing.... I was going for a traditional tasting mole...the flavor was okay but definitely not a mole taste at all..there was lot of liquid which made the taco on the running side .. not like the traditional thicker mole sauce that I’m used to ..there was no spice at all..however the meat was tender and juicy which is why I gave this recipe two stars .. Sadly I won’t be making this again
