The word mole comes from the Nahuatl word “molli or mulli” which means “sauce” and its culinary process dates back to pre-Hispanic times. Although there are currently several variants for its preparation, the traditional recipe is of Oaxacan origin and is attributed to an essential ingredient: chili huacle or chilhuacle.
