Ingredient in some mole

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cacao

(Other definitions for cacao that I've seen before include "Plant" , "Tree for cocoa bean" , "Bean providing chocolate" , "Tree yielding chocolate" , "Tropical tree, the source of chocolate" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
