Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon, until no pink remains, ~6 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Add onion and poblano to the skillet. Cook, stirring, until peppers soften, about 4 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in mole paste and beef broth until smooth. Simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and darkens.

  4. Step 4

    Squeeze lime juice over the top. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

  5. Step 5

    Divide into bowls and top with cilantro. Serve over rice or with warm tortillas.
