Lila Downs "La Cumbia del Mole", this tune will get you swaying to the beats while you cook - It's not a Mole recipe, never-the-less the song is so good.
I'm on a mission to veganize as many of my friend/co-worker Maria's Mexican recipes as possible. One of my favorite Mexican dishes is Huevos Rancheros (without the egg of course). It's all about the sauce so here it goes:
2 or 3 chopped tomatoes
1 clove of garlic minced
Dried passilla pepper chopped up (it will soften when cooked)
Mexican oregano - rub it between your hands to break it up and release the oils
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup no-chicken broth or vegetable broth
1 package firm tofu sliced into 1/2 inch slabs
Turmeric
Salt
Tortillas
Avocado - sliced
Cilantro
Throw the first 6 ingredients into a blender and whirl. Pour the contents into a pan and simmer. While the sauce is simmering sprinkle the tofu on both sides with a little salt and turmeric then grill.
Warm the tortillas (I love Trader Joes Homestyle Corn Tortillas)
To assemble lay a tortilla onto a plate, top with tofu, salsa, and garnish with avocado and or cliantro. Serve with beans on the side. Amazing!!
