Discover a quick and flavorful way to prepare Mole Chicken Enchiladas with this easy-to-follow recipe. Mole sauce is a beloved traditional Mexican sauce that adds a rich and complex flavor to any dish. Perfect for a weeknight dinner or a festive gathering, these enchiladas bring a taste of Mexico straight to your table.

Ingredients:

🥫 1 jar of mole (any brand)
🍗 2 cups of chicken stock
🍗 6 chicken thighs, boiled with 3 tbsp. chicken bouillon, salt, and pepper to taste (use the chicken stock from this)
🌽 16 corn tortillas
🌿 Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:
   • Boil the chicken thighs in a pot with enough water to cover them. Add 3 tablespoons of chicken bouillon, salt, and pepper to taste. Once cooked, shred the chicken and set it aside. Reserve the chicken stock for later use.
2. Prepare the Mole Sauce:
   • Open the jar of mole sauce. It may have solidified, so use a spoon to scoop it out into a saucepan.
   • Gradually add 2 cups of the reserved hot chicken stock to the mole, stirring continuously over low heat. Continue to stir until the mole becomes creamy and smooth.
3. Warm the Tortillas:
   • Place the corn tortillas in a microwave-safe zip bag. Microwave them on high for about 30 seconds until warm and pliable. This prevents them from cracking when you roll the enchiladas.
4. Assemble the Enchiladas:
   • Take one warm tortilla and place some shredded chicken in the center. Roll the tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down in a baking dish. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and chicken.
5. Add Mole Sauce:
   • Once all tortillas are rolled, pour the warm mole sauce evenly over the enchiladas in the baking dish.
6. Garnish and Serve:
   • Sprinkle sesame seeds generously over the top of the enchiladas for added texture and flavor.
   • Serve hot and enjoy this delicious Mexican classic!
