Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons tomato paste
One 6-ounce can tomato sauce
1 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon peanut butter
2 teaspoons brown sugar

2 cups shredded cooked chicken, skin removed
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack
1/4 cup Mexican crema or sour cream
1/2 cup crumbled queso fresco
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
Cilantro leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Add the chili powder, cocoa powder, cinnamon and cumin and saute until toasted and fragrant, about 2 more minutes.

  • Place one warmed tortilla flat on a clean work surface. Top with 1/4 cup of the chicken filling and 2 tablespoons of the shredded cheese. Roll up and place seam side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, filling and shredded cheese. Pour the remaining mole over the top of the rolled tortillas. Cover the dish with foil and bake until the cheese is melted and the mole is bubbling, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and top with the crema, queso fresco and sesame seeds. Serve garnished with cilantro leaves.
