Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Warm mole paste with chicken broth in a large skillet over medium heat, whisking until smooth, about 2 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Warm tortillas in a dry skillet 30 seconds per side, then fill each with shredded chicken and roll tightly.

  3. Step 3

    Slide rolled tortillas seam-side down into the mole sauce, nestling them close but not stacked.

  4. Step 4

    Simmer uncovered for 5 minutes until tortillas soften and sauce reduces slightly.

  5. Step 5

    Transfer enmoladas to plates, drizzle remaining sauce over top, and garnish with crema, onion, and queso fresco.
