In their original form, enchiladas were street food and consisted of corn tortillas without filling accompanied by a dipping sauce. This Enmolada recipe is an authentic version of corn tortillas covered in a mole sauce and is quick, easy and delicious.

INGREDIENTS

MAKE IT

Step 1

Place tomatillos in a large saucepan with enough water to cover. Boil for 10 minutes or until tender. Set aside.

Step 2

Place dried chiles and enough water to cover in a medium saucepan. Boil for 10 minutes. Reserve water.

Step 3

Place tomatillos, chiles, tomatoes, onion, almonds, peanuts, breadcrumbs, 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, cloves, cinnamon stick, garlic, bouillon and 3 cups reserved chile water in blender; cover. Blend well.

Step 4

Strain mixture through a mesh sieve.

Step 5

Place 3 tablespoons oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Carefully pour in chile mixture; add Abuelita chocolate. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes or until chocolate is melted and mixture is thickened.

Step 6

Heat ¼ cup oil in a large skillet. Lightly fry each tortilla approximately 30 seconds on each side.

Step 7

Fold each tortilla in half and place 3 on each serving plate. Cover with about 3/4 cup mole sauce and sprinkle with remaining tablespoon toasted sesame seeds.
