Ingredients

  • 2 cups Chicken breast, cooked and shredded
  • 1 cup Mole paste (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 cups Chicken broth
  • 0.5 tablet Mexican chocolate(optional)
  • 12 pieces Corn tortillas
  • 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
  • 0.5 cup Queso Fresco, crumbled
  • 0.5 cup White onion, thinly sliced
  • 0.25 cup Crema Mexicana
  • 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a medium saucepan, combine the mole paste and chicken broth over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Whisk the mole mixture until smooth, adding the Mexican chocolate if a sweeter, richer flavor is desired; simmer for 10 minutes until thickened.

  3. 3

    Heat the vegetable oil in a small skillet and lightly fry each tortilla for 5-10 seconds per side until soft and pliable, but not crispy.

  4. 4

    Drain the excess oil from the tortillas using paper towels.

  5. 5

    Dip a warm tortilla into the mole sauce until fully coated, then place it on a plate.

  6. 6

    Fill the center of the tortilla with a portion of shredded chicken and fold it in half or roll it up.

  7. 7

    Repeat with the remaining tortillas, arranging three per plate, and spoon extra mole sauce over the top.

  8. 8

    Garnish with crumbled queso fresco, sliced onions, a drizzle of crema, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
