Combine a dab of Aztec, a dash of Spanish and pour that mix into the Southwestern US. What do you get? The chance to taste "mole" in San Diego! Come trace the history of this word and this dish from Nahuatl to Spanish to English. Along the way, you'll meet avocados, jaguars, Mesoamericans, Spaniards and a range of moles. That's "mow-less" - the treasured Mexican sauces, NOT "moalz" - the small fuzzy critters.
