"Salsa Xocolatl" help

[nilti]

So I got a 110g can of mixed spices called "Salsa Xocolatl" which will be expired in April.

It contains mostly dark chocolate chips, salt, almonds, sesame, red pepper and garlic and the label says it is a "famous mexican meat sauce".

Since this is basically a mole sauce mix, I'd try it over fried potatoes. I'm not sure if this is autentico or not (I'm Mexican-American, too), but I have a tamale cookbook and one of the vegan recipes is for potato mole tamales. You could probably serve the mole sauce over pan-fried cubes of potato, with refried beans, corn tortillas, and avocado if it's available.

If you have any leftovers, you could mash the potatoes with some of the leftover mole and make them into rolled tacos/taquitos (place filling in corn tortilla, roll, and deep fry). Also, someone had an enchilada idea, which would be super tasty, too. Lastly, tostadas with some of this sauce on top would probably be awesome, too.

Good luck!

I'd put it in some chili. I looooove chocolate chili.

Thank you all for the numerous suggestions! They definitely gave me the inspiration I needed.

Today I decided to try it with just the resources I found in the kitchen and ended up with the salsa, corn, beans and.. broccoli rolled up in a tortilla (corn, by the way ;)).
Probably the broccoli part is not very authentic - but hey, isn't the most important aspect that you enjoy food rather than its authenticity? Well, I certainly did enjoy it. Though I guess my spoiled-middle-European-stomach first has to get used to Mexican spices.. ^^;
