One of my favorite things is when a Mexican restaurant has some delicious, mouth watering mole.  Unfortunately, many restaurants don’t, but you no need to be sad about it.  This recipe will transfer your dining room into your very own favorite Mexican restaurant that has the ever so coveted mole.  Yay!

While I love staples like Griddle Beef Tacos or Easy Chicken Tacos any night of the week, sometimes it’s nice to change it up a bit and make a dish that has some real flare, like shredded Pork Mole Tacos.

How to Make Shredded Pork Mole Tacos

Time needed: 7 hours.

 Just simply throw ingredients into the slow cooker and forget about your meal until dinner time. Then once ready to serve, shred your pork, do a little blending of the sauce from the slow cooker in the blender, then incorporate the sauce into the pork, and scoop up onto tacos.  In a nutshell, that’s pretty much it, E-A-S-Y.

  1. Combine Sauce and Ingredients in the Slow Cooker
    Combine tomato sauce, raisins, and dried spices in the slow cooker.

Tips and Tricks for making Shredded Pork Mole Tacos

Making this recipe is Eazy Peazy but here are a few helpful tips and tricks so you get the best results every time.

  • Keep It Warm: Place tortillas, wrapped in foil, in the oven for about 8 minutes before serving, so tortillas will be nice and warm.
  • Cook It Slow:  Slow cooking is a must in this recipe, to ensure a tender, shredded pork for each tortilla.
  • If You Want The Meat More Crisp:  If you prefer your meat to have a little crisp to it, throw it onto the skillet for a few minutes before serving. Or stick on a sheet pan and put in an oven and broil for 3-5 minutes, watching closely so you don’t burn it. 
  • Make It Flavorful:  This dish is packed with enough flavor that I wouldn’t venture off and add too many toppings or additional add-ons.  In addition to onion and cilantro, you could use a little avocado to further enhance the dish, but adding a variety of other toppings could turn into flavors competing, rather than complementing one another.
  • Change It Up:  Shredded Pork Mole Tacos don’t technically have to be tacos.  I won’t tell anyone if you don’t.  You can always change it up a little and add this delicious dish on top of tortilla chips to make fancy nachos.  Just another yummy option to satisfy a craving. Or over rice for a burrito bowl. Or in a burrito. Or a taquito. Or on a salad.

    Rachael,
    How hot and spicy is this Mole sauce? Is it mild enough for young kiddos and squeamish adults?

      Yes, it is not too spicy, and if you are concerned you can tone it down.
