Ingredients: Sesame seeds, ancho chile powder, chipotle chile powder, New Mexico Dixon chile powder, cocoa powder, cinnamon, sea salt & black pepper.
Uses: A bold balance of spicy and sweet, this Spicy Mole Rub brings rich, deep flavors to your favorite dishes. Perfect for tuna, simply brush with olive oil, press the rub onto the fish, and sear in a cast iron skillet for 2-3 minutes per side for a flavorful, crusted finish.
It’s also fantastic on pork tenderloin and chicken, adding a rich, smoky-sweet layer of flavor. Try on an oven baked spatchcocked chicken and use the drippings to cook your rice in.
Other ways to enjoy it:
• Rub onto ribs or steak before grilling or roasting.
• Toss with roasted vegetables like sweet potatoes or carrots.
• Stir into soups or stews for a smoky, complex depth.
• Sprinkle over popcorn or roasted nuts for a bold, savory snack.
This rub brings the essence of traditional mole spices—like chilies, cocoa, and cinnamon—into an easy, flavorful seasoning that’s perfect for creating rich, hearty meals.
