Ingredients
- 2 cups of shredded cooked chicken
- 12 corn tortillas
- 1/4 cup of vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup of sesame seeds
- 1/4 cup of almonds
- 1/4 cup of raisins
- 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup of chopped onion
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 3 cups of chicken broth
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 6 ounces of Mexican chocolate
- 1/4 cup of sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large skillet, heat 1/4 cup of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the tortillas one at a time for about 5 seconds on each side, until softened. Drain on paper towels.
- In a dry skillet, toast the sesame seeds, almonds, and raisins over medium heat until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a blender and blend until finely ground.
- In the same skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Pour in the ground seed and nut mixture, and stir in the chicken broth, cinnamon, cloves, cumin, coriander, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the Mexican chocolate and sugar until the chocolate is melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Dip each tortilla in the mole sauce, then fill with shredded chicken and roll up. Place the filled tortillas seam-side down in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Pour the remaining mole sauce over the enchiladas, and sprinkle with any remaining sesame seeds.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, until heated through.
- Serve the enchiladas de mole hot, and enjoy!
