Mole Chicken Enchiladas

Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 1 cup mole sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend), shredded
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/2 cup diced onions
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Start by warming up the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, half of the mole sauce, and diced onions. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Take each tortilla and spoon about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture in the center, then roll it up tightly. Place the rolled enchiladas seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
  5. Once all the enchiladas are snugly placed in the dish, pour the remaining mole sauce evenly over the top. Make sure to cover them well for a moist bake.
  6. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the enchiladas, and then cover the dish with aluminum foil.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
  8. Once done, take them out of the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve with dollops of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for an extra touch of flavor.
