1

Prep the Mole sauce

In a blender, combine 2 dried pasilla chilies, 2 dried ancho chilies, 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, 3 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon of ground cumin, 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 4 cloves of garlic, 1/2 cup of unsalted peanuts, 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds, 1/4 cup of raisins, 1/4 cup of tomato paste, 1/4 cup of chicken stock, and salt to taste. Blend until smooth.

2

Cook the chicken

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken thighs and cook until browned on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

3

Simmer in Mole sauce

In the same skillet, add 1 diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Pour in the Mole sauce from step 1 and stir to combine. Return the chicken to the skillet, making sure it's coated with the sauce. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.

4

Prepare the burrito filling

Remove the chicken from the skillet and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the skillet with the Mole sauce and mix well. Add 1 cup of cooked black beans and 1 cup of cooked white rice. Stir until everything is well combined.

5

Assemble the burrito

Warm up large tortillas on a skillet or in the microwave for a few seconds. Place a generous amount of the Mole chicken filling in the center of each tortilla. Top with shredded cheese, sliced avocado, and fresh cilantro. Fold in the sides and roll the tortilla tightly to form a burrito.
