    Stir in tomatoes, beer, cocoa, chili powder, salt and cinnamon. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low; simmer uncovered 15 to 20 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in center and chili is desired consistency. Sprinkle individual servings with pepitas. Serve with corn tortillas.

  • Mole sauce is a rich, spicy and slightly sweet Mexican sauce. The word "mole" (MOH lay) comes from the Aztec word "molli," meaning concoction or sauce. Traditionally, it's a very complex tomato-based sauce with dozens of ingredients that varies by region. Popular versions include chiles, chocolate and nuts.
  • For a deeper more complex flavor use stout beer in place of the lager.
