Step 1
Heat oven to 375°F. Warm the mole sauce in a small skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and loose, ~2 minutes.
Step 2
Toss the shredded chicken with 0.5 cup of the warm mole sauce until evenly coated.
Step 3
Spread a thin layer of mole on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Warm each tortilla briefly over a gas flame or in a dry skillet until pliable, ~15 seconds per side.
Step 4
Fill each tortilla with 3 tbsp chicken mixture, roll tightly, and lay seam-side down in the dish. Repeat until all 8 are filled.
Step 5
Pour the remaining mole sauce over the enchiladas. Drizzle crema across the top, then scatter cheddar and sesame seeds evenly.
Step 6
Bake until the sauce bubbles at the edges and cheese melts, ~10 minutes. Garnish with cilantro and serve hot.
