Molé Sauce

[apollymi]

 I've always wanted to try mole sauce, but I never found a recipe I liked. So I scouted ideas and made my own. Quick and easy -- and not terrible for. We did ours over vegetables and rice, but I bet it could be eaten on its own and still be filling.

Ingredients:

• 1 can tomato soup
• 1 8-oz can tomato sauce
• 1 4-oz can green chiles
• 1 Tbsp garlic powder
• 1 Tbsp onion powder
• 2 tsp ground cumin
• 2 tsp dried cilantro
• 3 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

Sauce Directions:
In a large boiler, mix tomato soup, tomato sauce, and green chiles over medium heat. 

Add garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and cilantro, stirring constantly.

Add cocoa just before serving.

Extra:

• 1 12-oz can sweet yellow corn, drained
• 1 15-oz can pinto (or black) beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 cup ground soy burger, ground beef, pulled chicken, or pulled pork (actual meats need to be already cooked)
• 2 cups white or brown (instant or long-grain) rice

Extras Directions:
In another large boiler, mix corn, beans, and burger. Allow to simmer until burger is thawed.

Cook rice according to package direction.

Layer rice, vegetable and meat mixture, then sauce on top. Serve with sour cream and cheese if desired.
