In addition I had leftover sauce and pico de gallo. so I got a flank steak, marinated & grilled it in the leftover mole sauce, and made steak tacos with it.

Pretty Good. They don’t sell Halibut in the grocery stores around the tri-state area this time of year so I used Chilean sea bass, which went good with the flavors as well. I would not put at the top of my list to make again, but def a good dish.
