I made it with red bush tea (since we don’t do tea) and it came out bitter, but I think that was the lemon rind.

This is SO fast, literally throw together in a matter of minutes. Put in the crockpot and it is ready when you come home.

Serve in tortillas, taco shells, or buns.

Cocoabliss tip: It’s really messy to purée in a blender or food processor. Reverse the process with an immersion blender: Take out what you don’t want to purée and keep chunky and buzz the rest with your stick right in the crock-pot. Then put the reserved chunks back in. Could also be nice with other cheeses, e.g. gouda with cumin, mozza, etc. Would be nice with broccoli, peas, lentils, etc. Subsitute part of potatoes for cauliflower or old bread. Modify spices. Use back bacon, leftover sausage or sandwich meat instead of bacon. Use white wine for part of water or stock. Throw in corn instead of cheese for a potato/corn chowder….. possibilities are endless!

Cocoabliss tip: Substitute cocoa powder, chili powder, chili flakes, balsamic vinegar and oil for mole paste. Use red wine instead of broth.
