Chicken Mole and Cactus Salad

Terrence and I made this the other evening with ingredients from Dos Hermanos, a new hispanic grocery store on Michigan Ave in Ypsilanti. I don't pretend to be an excellent cook in this cuisine, but it was a good experiment

Chicken Mole:
1 - 1.5 Lbs chicken breast, cut into strips
Mole Sauce (can buy premade)
Tomatoes, chopped
Onions, chopped
Your choice of peppers, depending on the Scoville units you desire. We used serrano
Tostados

1. Saute chicken breast, onions and peppers.
2. While that is cooking, mix prepare mole sauce according to directions in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook until thick and warm. We used chicken broth rather than water for the base
3. Add tomatoes to chicken/onion/pepper mix
4. Add mole sauce to chicken/vegetable mix
5. Pour over tostados

Cactus Salad:
Canned cactus (found at Dos Hermanios), chopped. (there is fresh cactus there also, but i'm not sure how you peel it, so i went for the canned)
Your choice of salsa, prefer tomato base though in this salad
Fresh cilantro, chopped
Mexican farmer's cheese, ie queso blanco (also at Dos Hermanios), crumbled
Corn, either fresh, canned or frozen

Basically mix all above ingredients together, in proportions that you like. Have chilled 30 mins-1 hour prior to serving to blending favors
