Ingredients
- 1 Jar Mole We used Dona Maria
- 2 Large Chicken Breasts
- 3 Large Tomatoes diced
- 1 Large Onion diced
- 5 Ounces Dark chocolate
- Coconut oil
- Corn Tortillas
Instructions
- Gather your ingredients together.
- Boil chicken breasts until the meat is falling off the bone, about 40 minutes depending the size of the breasts.
- Remove chicken and reserve the broth.
- Once the chicken is cooled, using two forks, shred into pieces.
- Take two cups of the chicken broth reserve and put into a deep sauce pan and add the mole.
- As you heat up the mole it will dissolve into the broth, you can use a wooden spoon to aid the breakdown.
- Add the chocolate to the mole and stir until melted.
- While the mole is cooking, in a separate pan heat up the coconut oil.
- Cook the onion and tomatoes in the oil for about 15 minutes, then add to the mole sauce.
- Salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the shredded chicken to the mole and turn down to a simmer.
- The mole will thicken as you cook, adding more chicken broth to keep your desired texture.
- Take a cup of the chicken broth and a 1/4 cup of mole sauce and heat in a small skillet on a low simmer.
- Place one tortilla at a time in the sauce and cook the until soft, about 60 seconds.
- Using tongs, gently remove each tortilla.
- With a slotted spoon scoop some of the chicken, tomato and onions from the sauce and put it into the tortilla and roll it up.
- Repeat, adding two or three enchiladas and top with more mole sauce. Serve with rice and beans.
