La Comida:

Mole Poblano is a typical and traditional dish served in Puebla. Usually eaten with Turkey but we decided to try it with chicken. If you are local, we buy ours in Utah County. The recipe has ben passed down two generations and it is amazing. 
(email me if you want to purchase the mole paste) 

The Menu:

We love to each out fruit with a little bit of salt, lime juice and some Tajin (a type of chile powder)
