Chef's Tips

For a richer flavor, use a high-quality, authentic mole sauce.

If you don't have a grill, you can also bake the mushrooms in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes.

Add a sprinkle of toasted pepitas (pumpkin seeds) for extra crunch and flavor.

Serve with a side salad or grilled vegetables for a complete meal.
