Step 1
Heat oven to 350°F. Whisk mole paste with chicken broth in a small bowl until smooth, about 1 minute.
Step 2
Warm tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat, 20 seconds per side, until pliable.
Step 3
Spread 1/4 cup mole sauce across the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.
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.
Step 5
Pour remaining mole over enchiladas, scatter cheese and sesame seeds on top, and bake until bubbling at the edges, 12-14 minutes.
Step 6
Drizzle with extra crema and serve hot.
