When it comes to Mexican food, I'm a big fan of mole.  The rich chocolate like sauce that originated in Oaxaca, Mexico.  I'm looking for the flavor of deep roasted chilies, chocolate, spices and other ingredients like raisins, sesame seeds and peanuts in a good mole negro.  There are 7 types, so try some when you're at a restaurant serving a variety of moles.

I am such a fan, I always order chicken mole ......until a friend introduced me to Quesabirrias.

Wow, talk about comfort food.  If you are not familiar, Birria is traditional Mexican beef or goat stew with the meat braised in a somewhat mild spicy chili-based broth.  Quesabirrias are a taco version where the shell is dipped in the braising sauce and the meat smothered in cheese, served with that savory braising sauce for dipping.

Here is where Quesabirria fans in North Central Washington say you should try the dish.
