Black Bean Mole

Black Bean Mole

Hearty beans meet deep mole flavor. Slow-simmered and soul-warming, these black beans are anything but basic. Infused with smoky cocoa, garlic, and just a hint of heat, they deliver earthy comfort with unexpected depth — the kind of dish that makes you forget it's meatless.

Serve with: Rice, roasted veggies, tacos, or a fried egg on top for a bold, satisfying bowl.
