TRANSCRIPT:
What kinds of tortillas do you use?

We use corn tortillas. You can use flour, but the flour absorbs a lot more of the oil and makes it a little bit greasier.

Oh, interesting.

Yeah. We like to use corn tortillas in our cooking.

So you just softened it in the oil. You're not frying it, or not browning it.

No. You want it soft, just to kind of get a little bit of texture on it, and it will be easy to fold. And also it won't break as you fold it.

There's a lot of debate about how mole should be served. I don't like it too thick. So what you do is you basically toss it around. You get the flavor in it. You want to always have the tortilla ready before you start this.

As you see, I'm going to fold it as an enchilada. I should make another one, too.

Yeah, make another one.
