Three days of roasting chiles, toasting spices, grinding ingredients, simmering low and slow until every flavor comes together. Then it's ladled over tender chicken and served with homemade rice and tortillas pressed by hand. One bite and you'll understand why Chef Marisela has been making it this way for 20+ years.
