Mole is a Mexican sauce made with ingredients such as chili peppers, spices, nuts, chocolate, and sometimes fruit. It can be used as a marinade or served over meat, rice, or other dishes. The word "mole" comes from the Nahuatl word "mōlli," which means "sauce" or "concoction." There are many different types of mole, with the most famous being the complex and dark mole negro from Oaxaca.
