This flavorful mole is made with tomatoes, onion, garlic, chipotle chile, orange juice and chocolate. Serve over pork roast for the perfect entertaining choice. The sauce should be prepared towards the end of the roast cook time if you want to save time.

Elenita's Mole is a delectable Mexican dish that bursts with rich, complex flavors. This enticing recipe from Official ABUELITA™ combines the sweetness of tomatoes and orange juice with the smoky depth of chipotle chile.
