Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation of Enchiladas

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a large pot, boil the free-range chicken until fully cooked. Once cooked, remove from heat, shred the chicken using two forks, and set aside.

  2. 2

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a heated skillet, warm the corn tortillas one by one until pliable, about 30 seconds on each side. Keep them warm wrapped in a clean kitchen towel.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Enchiladas

    Take a warm tortilla, add a portion of the shredded chicken, roll it up tightly, and place it seam side down in a baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas and chicken.

  4. 4

    Add Mole Sauce

    Pour the Oaxacan mole sauce evenly over the assembled enchiladas in the baking dish, ensuring each enchilada is well covered.

Serving the Dish

  1. 5

    Garnish the Enchiladas

    Sprinkle the crumbled queso fresco, sliced red onions, and toasted sesame seeds over the top of the enchiladas.

  2. 6

    Prepare the Side Dishes

    Serve the enchiladas alongside a generous scoop of Mexican rice and a side of chile piquín black beans.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Drizzle crema fresca over the enchiladas just before serving for added richness, and enjoy your Enchiladas de Pollo en Mole Oaxaqueño!
