  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 2 cups mole sauce
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

  3. Lightly fry each corn tortilla for a few seconds on each side until soft.

Notes

  • Lightly frying tortillas prevents them from breaking.
  • Adjust mole thickness with broth or water as needed.
  • Use rotisserie chicken for convenience.
  • Add chili powder or hot sauce for extra heat.
  • Mix mole with cream for a milder flavor.
  • Top with avocado, sesame seeds, or pickled onions for variation.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat with extra sauce to maintain moisture.
