#AD BBQ Mole Enchiladas

by

At least once a week I like to make dishes inspired by Latino flavors and ingredients.  We put on some Salsa or Latino pop music (which usually results in some dancing after dinner or while we are cooking) and I try to involve the kids in the cooking process as much as possible.  Sometimes I will make a family recipe, others I will use ingredients that remind me of my home, Guatemala.  But we have the most fun in the kitchen when we experiment making new recipes that blend flavors from different cultures because I believe that food is such an important part of our family life and I love recipes that reflect the bi-cultural and bilingual environment my children are being raised in.

We love Tyson and their products are a staple at our house but we had not tried the Honey BBQ Chicken Strips yet.  I had decided we would make some enchiladas, one of my family’s favorite foods. As I was at the grocery strolling through the Latino foods section I was inspired and decided to try to make an American version of mole sauce for the enchiladas.  My family loves mole and BBQ so I thought it would be really fun to combine those two flavors.  Mexican mole is made with a combination of mild chiles and chocolate and it’s always a fun meal when there is chocolate in your food! You can see my complete shopping trip on my Google+ album HERE.

Before making the enchiladas I wanted to try the Tyson Honey BBQ Chicken Strips. From the moment they started to heat up in the oven the whole house was filled with a sweet BBQ scent that opened up everyone’s appetite. Made with whole pieces chicken breast they where tender inside and bursting with flavor outside, my husband loved them and I had a hard time keeping him away from the kitchen while I was making the enchiladas with the kids.

Everyone loved the Mole BBQ enchiladas made with Tyson Honey BBQ Chicken Strips and we had as much fun eating them as we did coming up with the recipe and cooking them.   The combination of sweet and tangy flavors with the hint of chocolate and cinnamon in the sauce was perfectly paired with the Honey BBQ chicken filled tortillas.

  25. Wow, what a flavorful meal. I love using precooked items and making them my own by creating an incredible recipe like this one. I do believe I’m going to have to clone your recipe here. My family will love this. It combines so many of the flavors/food types they already love!

  26. I have never tried the mole sauce but this recipe has motivated me to try it. I love chocolate so it is possible that I will love it too. The pictures look very appetizing.
