The recipe for mole poblano is said to have originated in Santa Rosa convent in Puebla in the 17th-century. It has so many ingredients and processes that it takes hours or days to prepare. According to the Encyclopedia of Mexican Cuisine there are over 40 varieties of mole in Puebla, Oaxaca and other states, some are spicy and others are mild.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-1hf9der-e9e5740c2f7bcd0ee7046c92550830f3\">\n.av_font_icon.av-1hf9der-e9e5740c2f7bcd0ee7046c92550830f3{\ncolor:#f45b0e;\nborder-color:#f45b0e;\n}\n.av_font_icon.av-1hf9der-e9e5740c2f7bcd0ee7046c92550830f3 .av-icon-char{\nfont-size:20px;\nline-height:20px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<span  class=\"av_font_icon av-1hf9der-e9e5740c2f7bcd0ee7046c92550830f3 avia_animate_when_visible av-icon-style- avia-icon-pos-left avia-icon-animate \"><span class='av-icon-char' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='' data-av_iconfont='fontello' ><\/span><\/span>\n<h3>Chiles en nogada<\/h3>\n<p>With its colors of red, white and green symbolizing the Mexican flag, chiles en nogada is the Independence Night dish par excellence.
