Enchildas de Pollo in Mole
Mole paste can be purchased from a gourmet shop or Mexican
food store or made from scratch.
1/2 cup mole paste
2 cups chicken stock
2 tablespoons toasted slivered almonds
1/2 oz. semisweet chocolate
1/4 teaspoon Maggi seasoning
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
8 corn tortillas
2 cups shredded cooked chicken
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Makes 8 enchiladas
• Combine mole paste, chicken stock, almonds, chocolate
and Maggi seasoning in blender or food processor. Process
until smooth.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium saucepan. Add mole
paste mixture. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer
uncovered until slightly thickened, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Heat remaining oil in a medium skillet. With tongs,
carefully place 1 tortilla at a time in hot oil. Hold in
oil 3 to 5 seconds until softened. Quickly turn tortilla
and soften other side, 3 to 5 seconds, then dip in mole
sauce to coat. Lay tortilla on a plate and top with a
spoonful of chicken. Roll up tightly and place seam-side
down on a warm platter. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
• Top enchiladas with remaining sauce. Sprinkle with
sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
