Method

Oaxacan Mole Sauce

1

Prepare the Chilies

Remove stems and seeds from the dried ancho and guajillo chilies. Place them in a bowl and cover with hot water for about 15 minutes to soften.

2

Blend the Sauce

In a blender, combine the softened chilies, tomato paste, garlic, onion, chicken broth, ground cumin, cinnamon, and salt. Blend until smooth.

3

Cook the Sauce

In a saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Pour in the blended mole sauce and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Eggs and Assembly

4

Cook the Eggs

In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add a little oil and crack the eggs into the skillet. Cook until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny (about 3-4 minutes for over-medium).

5

Warm the Tortillas

In a separate skillet, lightly heat the corn tortillas on both sides until warm and pliable.

6

Prepare the Refried Beans

In a small pot, heat the refried beans over low heat until warmed through, stirring occasionally.

7

Assemble the Dish

On each tortilla, spread an equal amount of warm refried beans. Top with one egg per tortilla. Generously drizzle with the Oaxacan mole sauce. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a dollop of sour cream.
