How would you describe the ingredients in these foods: El tamal, el chile relleno, la empanada, and el mole in spanish? The ingredients I have are in english but I need to DESCRIBE THEM IN SPANISH. THEY WILL BE LISTED AS MULTIPLE CHOICE.

Here is what I have- el tamal- corn dough steamed, husk of corn, food wrapped inside

la empanada- pie with fruit, meat, fried dough, octupus and squid

el mole- thick, cooked chile sauce with cocoa

Just plug the ingredients into the translate section here. Empanadas are quite a bit of work and can be made with a wide variety of fillings but the hearty ones are filled with meat such as ground beef, potatoes, onion and sauce such as sofrito etc The things that you wrap or fold them in are called discos in stores that stock Hispanic foods (or you can make your own). Tamales are also a little bit of work. The classic chile relleno is a a chile pepper stuffed with a filling mainly comprised of cheese. I have not made rellenos but have enjoyed them in restaurants.

Random, you can double click on a lot of the words and find the names - like dough = masa

You might also be able to type in "receta - chile relleno" in your online search box and get some recipes that give you the genuine words used.

I typed in 'receta - mole' and got this:

Ingredientes •1 guajolote •400 g de chile mulato desvenados •400 g de chile ancho desvenados •100 g de chile pasilla desvenados •3 chipotles desvenados y hervidos •4 jitomates •100 g de ajonjolí tostado •100 g de pasas •100 g cacahuates •1 bolillo •3 pimientos •2 clavos •Un poco de anis estrellado (al gusto) •Un poco de canela (al gusto) •3 cebollas •1 tortilla frita •5 dientes de ajo •2 tablillas de chocolate •azúcar (un poco)
