Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 2 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium. Add onion slices, cook until golden and crispy, ~4 minutes. Set aside.

  2. Step 2

    In the same skillet, whisk masa harina with 2 cups broth until smooth. Stir constantly over medium heat until it thickens into a loose porridge, ~5 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Add shredded chicken and mole sauce to the masa. Stir until combined and heated through, about 2 minutes. It should be pourable but thick.

  4. Step 4

    Divide masa-mole mixture among bowls. Top with crispy onions and cilantro. Serve immediately.
