Huarache
Combine masa harina, salt and 1 cup of warm water in a large bowl, and stir until a smooth dough forms. Knead dough in a bowl until very smooth but not sticky, about 2 minutes. Divide dough into quarters and shape each quarter into a 7" long, 1∕4" thick oval. Heat 1 tbsp. oil in a 12" cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add huarache to skillet and cook until blackened in spots on the bottom, about 3 minutes.
Mole
Place chicken in stock pot (into boiling water) with laurel leaves, kosher salt and whole peppercorn. When fully cooked take out the chicken and cut/mince into smaller pieces. Add oil to skillet and add flour, then empty Dona Maria mole paste into skillet. Break up mole paste and add chicken stock; make sure to make the consistency of mole smooth and then add chocolate and chicken. Cook for 15-20 minutes on very low heat.
Slaw
Slaw: Combine white/purple cabbages, onion, tomatoes, jalapeno and cilantro in a large bowl. In a medium bowl, whisk the mayonnaise, lime juice and chipotle powder together until smooth and creamy. Pour the dressing over the cabbage and season with salt and pepper to taste.
