Sugar, spice and all things nice…
That’s what Molé Poblano is made of: How to elevate your Mexican Dishes for Cinco de Mayo
A party? Count us in! Cinco de Mayo is a Mexican and American holiday on 5th May to honour the victory over French forces. In 1862, the Battle of Puebla resulted in a military success over Napoleon III and this Mexican city became the symbol of independence. Today, the event is celebrated in the state of Puebla with parades, speeches and a feast where Molé Poblano steals the show. A spicy sauce central to Mexican cuisine, Molé Poblano is made from a mix of chillies, spices, molasses, seeds, nuts and occasionally a sprinkling of chocolate. The sweetness of chocolate cuts through its fiery flavour for an exciting addition to any meal. With our tips and tricks, mix up how you use Molé Poblano to make the most of this piquant sauce.
Season with style
¡Órale! You know we are the masters of sauces and seasonings so trust us to help you liven up your Cinco de Mayo party. Add Molé Poblano to tiger prawn tacos or stir into our pulled pork, chicken or beef to create burritos, enchiladas or quesadillas, this mouthwatering sauce will add an extra kick! But don’t stop there… add to rice or vegetables, perfect for a vegetarian dish.
Sharing the spiciness
No celebration of Mexican cuisine is complete without food to share, so grab some of our La Mexicana salted corn chips and load them up – we’re talking cheese, salsa, jalapenos and a generous serve of Molé Poblano to finish it all off. Too spicy? Turn down the heat by serving Molé Poblano with a dash of guacamole or sour cream.
Guacamole
According to the California Avocado Commission, eighty-seven million pounds of avocados are consumed on Cinco de Mayo, making guacamole a staple on the menu. Our La Mexicana Premium Guacamole is made in Central America to our own recipe. Using Hass avocado, this chunky guacamole has a great citrus zingy and garlicy punch, it’s a best seller for a reason. Or create your own recipe using La Mexicana frozen avocado pulp.
The essentials
Load up on our new La Mexicana tortillas – we have 3 sizes, perfect for tacos, burritos, or enchiladas (and add in a spoonful (or two!) of Molé Poblano). The salsa staples, red salsa, green salsa, picante salsa – we have them all and of course our La Mexicana Mexican rice is flavoured with tomato and mixed herbs, ready to serve in seconds.
