  1. I made these for a party - they were a huge hit. The cocoa makes it taste like a mole sauce. Very good.
     
  2. This is a delicious meal, I've made it several times.
     
  3. This was soo delicious! I will definitely be making this again. I put avocado and lime juice on my tacos and it was excellent. It was great how fast it was to prepare. I cooked it for 8 hours on low and the pork shredded nicely.
     
  4. I usually make recipe #313793. This recipe affords much more spice and flavor without as much sodium. I haven't tried this with chicken, however, I feel that it would be just as delicious. <br/>I love the flavor enhancement that the cocoa adds, without adding sweetness. Authentic Mexican dishes often have the addition of cocoa powder. I did use half the amount of salt called for in the recipe and added a the juice of a half a lime & a good teaspoon of cumin (because we love it). Served with soft tortillas, shredded cheddar, shredded lettuce & sour cream. Thanks for turning us on to a new "easy" Mexican dinner. **Update, I have also made this with (instead of salsa); low sodium tomatoes with green chiles to reduce the sodium content and had great results.
     
  5. YUM! So flavorful. Could not stop eating this!
