A Recipe by El Popular
This Recipe Can’t Be ‘Topped’! Our Crispy Chorizo and Mole Tlayuda is like a Mexican pizza, but with a corn tortilla for the crust instead of regular dough and instead of tomato sauce, refried beans or Mole is used. Just like with a pizza, you can put anything you want on it – cheese, avocado, and more! In this recipe, we made sure to use our famous El Popular Mole sauce to put a rich and savory touch on this Oaxacan classic.
