Mexican Elote --- Yellow Mole
Mexico - home to some unique and exciting summer flavours….
Mexican flavours go really well with charred veg so we’re starting this meal with elote – grilled corn on the cob covered in rich cheese topping enlivened with smoky chilli flakes. For the main we’ve got yellow mole (pronounced mo-lay). Mole, meaning ‘sauce’, is one of the most iconic dishes of Mexico, particularly in Oaxaca, and this less common yellow variety is one of the region's 7 classic moles.
Fresh chillies are combined with aromatic spices, annatto and Mexican oregano for a deep, warm flavour. The mole tops homemade tortillas piled with grilled courgette, refried beans and smoky charred vegetable salsa. On the side we’ve vivid pink pickled onions made with habanero chilli, along with cooling sour cream.

Mole outstanding, delicious smokey salsa. Elote worked well - great flavours. Found the tortillas hard compared to other boxes.
A vegan take on Mexican Elote and Yellow Mole recipe. An excellent, easy to cook and delicious meal. I have substituted the sour cream for homemade vegan sour cream (made from cashews), it turned out to be a delicious, warming meal full of different flavors! In times of Covid, cooking delicious meals helps me deal with the inability to travel and taste new food. Make sure you have someone to share the food with as it turns out to be a real feast!
YUM everything looks fantastic! Plus the sour cream made from cashews looks delish, we wish we could try some!
Incredible flavours, easy to follow steps and made for a perfect Valentine’s Day meal - thank you!! The corn on the cob was especially delicious.
It looks like you did an amazing job - nice one! We're so glad to hear that this Mexican feast was the perfect addition to your Valentine's day!
Very quick, well packaged, good price
