Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Place them in a baking dish and cover with mole verde sauce. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

  2. 2

    Cook the Beans

    In a small saucepan, heat the pinto beans over medium heat until warmed through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Roasted Corn

    If using fresh corn, grill or roast the corn until slightly charred. If using canned or frozen corn, simply heat it in a skillet until warm.

  4. 4

    Cook the Rice

    Prepare the Mexican red rice according to package instructions. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    On a large serving platter, layer the red rice, followed by the pinto beans, roasted corn, and the mole verde chicken. Sprinkle jack cheese over the top.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish with chopped green onions and pickled red onions. Serve with a side of jalapeño vinaigrette for drizzling.
