Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat mole in a 12-inch skillet over medium until it thins slightly, about 2 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Toss shredded chicken with 0.5 cup of the mole and a pinch of salt until coated.

  3. Step 3

    Dip each tortilla into the remaining mole, then fill with chicken and a pinch of onion and cheese.

  4. Step 4

    Roll tightly and arrange seam-side down in the skillet, overlapping slightly if needed.

  5. Step 5

    Stir broth into any remaining mole and pour over the enchiladas. Sprinkle cheese on top.

  6. Step 6

    Cover and simmer for 10 minutes until sauce bubbles gently and cheese melts.

  7. Step 7

    Scatter cilantro over top and serve straight from the skillet.
