Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat oven to 350°F. Whisk mole paste with chicken broth in a small bowl until smooth, about 1 minute.

  2. Step 2

    Warm tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat, 20 seconds per side, until pliable.

  3. Step 3

    Spread 1/4 cup mole sauce across the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.

  4. Step 4

    Fill each tortilla with 1/4 cup shredded chicken and a drizzle of crema, then roll snug and place seam-down in the dish.

  5. Step 5

    Pour remaining mole over enchiladas, scatter cheese and sesame seeds on top, and bake until bubbling at the edges, 12-14 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Drizzle with extra crema and serve hot.
