Mexicano Pollo Tamales con Mole
Historia
The smell de mole wafting through the kitchen is enough to bring the whole family running. Don Luis remembers the first time he made tamales con his abuela—his hands covered in masa, his smile wide as he waited para the mole to simmer just right. “¡Ay, niño! No rush the mole,” she’d say, gently stirring the thick, chocolaty sauce as if guarding a family treasure. Now, it’s Don Luis’s turn to pass on the magic. He teaches the little ones to spread the masa con love, fill it con juicy pollo, y wrap each tamal like a tiny gift. Every fold carries history, flavor, y a whole lot de cariño 💖. As they wait para the tamales to steam, laughter fills the rustic kitchen. That’s the Don Luis way. Time, Calories & Cost
