Ingredients
- 1 (8.25-ounce) jar Doña Maria mole paste
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 12 grams Mexican chocolate (about ⅛ tablet of Abuelita brand Mexican chocolate)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4 cups cooked shredded chicken (about 1 ½ pounds)
- 1 cup queso fresco, crumbled
- ½ medium white onion, finely diced
- 12 corn tortillas
- ¼ cup Vegetable oil, plus more as needed
For serving
- queso fresco
- Thinly sliced white onions
- sesame seeds
Instructions
- Make the mole sauce. Add the mole paste and broth to a medium sauce pan over medium heat. Whisk until the paste has fully dissolved.
- Add the Mexican chocolate, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until all the ingredients are dissolved and the mole sauce has a thick, gravy-like consistency. Set aside.
- Prepare the filling. Add the shredded chicken, queso fresco, and onion in a large bowl. Toss lightly to combine and set aside.
- Heat the oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Working one tortilla at the time, lightly fry each tortilla for about 5 seconds per side. Drain off any excess oil by giving it a little shake while holding it with tongs, then transfer it onto a plate or baking sheet lined with paper towels. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
- Assemble the enmoladas by dipping each fried tortilla into the mole sauce, making sure to cover both sides. Place the smothered tortilla on a plate and fill with a generous spoonful of the chicken filling mixture, then roll it up. Continue this process with the remaining tortillas.
- Pour the remaining mole sauce on top of the enmoladas and top with additional queso fresco, sesame seeds, and sliced white onion.
Notes
- Chicken: You can use homemade shredded chicken using my shredded chicken recipe, air fryer whole chicken recipe, or use a store-bought rotisserie chicken and shred at home.
- The mole sauce will thicken as it cools. If it becomes too thick while you are assembling the enmoladas, add more chicken broth as needed.
