cooking with caro (and thrive!): smoky mole chicken enchiladas

About this episode

Caro Chambers hosts a live cooking demo featuring smoky mole chicken enchiladas using pantry staples.

Thanks to everyone who joined for today’s Substack live cooking demo — if you couldn’t make it, find a full replay above! In the demo, I cooked smoky mole chicken enchiladas with lime crema , a recipe that turns a few humble pantry staples (peanut butter, chocolate chips, tortillas, tomato paste, spices, and chipotles en adobo!) into a delicious weeknight dinner. The only fresh ingredients you’ll need are chicken breasts, white onion, a red bell pepper, some shredded cheese, sour cream, and a lime! Recipes that rely heavily on pantry staples are easy to make on nights when the fridge is mostly bare — they can also be more budget-friendly, since the cost-per-use of ingredients like peanut butter and spices is often quite low. Thank you to Thrive Market for sponsoring today’s live cook-along, which allowed us to make it free for all subscribers! Thank you also to Thrive for making it so very easy for me to keep my pantry stocked up with high-quality ingredients (at an excellent price point!). In addition to pantry staples, Thrive is my go-to source for kids snacks and clean home products — I love that everything they sell is free from more than 1,000 artificial, synthetic, and GMO…
