X-treme Weekending: Chicken Mole Wraps

3 years ago, Thatboy helped initiate a community event - The Southeastern X-Fest.  They brought together a group of pro-skateboarders, pro-bmxers, and community members for a day of fun.

This year we were looking forward to taking Thatbaby who is really into skateboarding.  (Enough that we have to hide Thatboy's skateboard in his van so Thatbaby stops obsessively trying to sit or ride on it)

Thatbaby was enthralled by the kids skating.

And it was neat to see some "old familiar faces" as the pro-regulars were there.  I'm a big fan of John Pope who really seems to love the "play" aspect of skating.

I like the "play" aspect of cooking too.  Which is why I take some of my classic favorite and turn them into something new.  It's been a while since I've made chicken mole, which used to be a weekly staple. I turned it into a wrap and we happily munched away.  Thatboy had his chicken sans mole, because it was "too pie-cy."  I guess he only likes x-treme when it has four wheels and a board.
