Veracruz mole tradition mole xiqueño, mole de chivo

Mole xiqueño (also spelled mole Xiqueño) is a traditional mole sauce from the city of Xico in the state of Veracruz, Mexico ^[2]. Its two defining chili peppers are the mulate and ancho, both native Mexican chiles ^[2][3]. Recipes vary but commonly include bananas, peanuts, tortillas, almonds, cashews, breadcrumbs, onions, raisins, garlic, chocolate, sesame seeds, and spices such as cinnamon, black pepper, cloves, oregano, and anise ^[2]. Like other moles, it is typically served for special occasions and holidays ^[2]. The paste is now commercialized by small businesses ^[2]. No LA-area restaurants were noted in the source facts.
