    Can substitute guajillo chiles for chilhuacles amarillos; banana chiles, yellow wax chiles, or bell peppers for güero chiles; mint and cilantro for hoja santa; Yukon Gold potatoes for chayote; and this book's "Crispy corn flatbread (Tostadas de maíz): Baked tostadas" for commercial corn tostadas.

    This was delicious but pretty time consuming, as others said. I used guajillos, yellow bell pepper, zucchini and potato. The chicken and veg were perfect with the mole, but I was not a huge fan of the chochoyotes. 8/10 and will make again!

    Like someone else said, it took time to source and to make the recipe. Maybe 4 hours total, but did include hands off time. I did the substitutions with the chile guajillo and banana peppers as well as boneless skinless chicken breast instead of chicken legs (family preference) Very flavorful mole and made a lot! The masa dumplings weren’t my favorite as I didn’t think the flavor really permeated the entire dumpling and the middle was a little bland. I will likely up the salt or add chicken bouillon or other seasonings to the masa that would complement the mole. Will be adding this to make again.

    This took sourcing and time. The end result was very tasty and made a lot! of food. Next time I will skip the chicken griddling and just use a rotisserie chicken. Cooking the chiles in the chicken fat surely boosts flavor but I kind of hate dealing with raw chicken so I’ll take the L there. I ended up with less sauce than expected - it was difficult to submerge the chochoyotes to cook until floating. Maybe this was because I was cooking in a large cast iron skillet where greater surface area equals greater evaporation. Sauce was a nice thick consistency but I wanted more!
