chicken enmoladas/enmoladas de pollo























preparing enmoladas is a great way to use your left-over mole and chicken. this time i cooked the mole especially to make enmoladas. i used mole paste i brought from mexico :)
preparar enmoladas es una gran manera de utilizar el mole y el pollo que nos sobró. esta vez hice el mole especialmente para preparar las enmoladas. utilicé el mole que trajé desde méxico :)

ingredients/ingredientes:

chicken breasts/pechuga de pollo
mole paste/pasta de mole
chicken stock/caldo de pollo
corn tortillas/tortillas de maíz
onion/cebolla
garlic/ajo
salt/sal

cook the chicken breasts with half of one onion, garlic clove and a little salt. once the meat is soft, take it out and leave to cool down. save the chicken stock for later.
cocina la pechuga de pollo con la mitad de la cebolla, el diejte de ajo y un poco de sal. una vez que la carne esté suave, sácala y dejala enfriar. guarda el caldo de pollo para más tarde.

















heat the pot and put the mole paste in it. dry-cook it for couple minutes until it heats up and starts to smell like chocolate. add chicken broth (as much as necessary depending on how dense you want your mole) and cook on a low flame until it starts boiling. cook for ten more minutes afterwards. (i usually put a teaspoon of sugar in mole to make it a little less spicy)
calienta la olla y coloca la pasta de mole adentro. cocina lo así, seco, duranto un par de minutos hasta que se calienta y empieza oler a chocolate. agrega el caldo de pollo (cuanto sea necesario dependiendo de que tan espeso quieres tu mole) y cocine a fuego lento hasta a empiece a hervir. luego cocine durante diez minutos más. (suelo poner una cucharadita de azúcar en mole para que sea un poco menos picante)













meanwhile shred the chicken.
mientras deshebra el pollo.













put tortilla into the warm mole sauce. take the tortilla out, place on couple pieces of shredded chicken and roll it. 
pon una tortilla el mole caliente. saca la tortilla, colocale unos pedazos de pollo deshebrado encima y enrollala.

put the enmolada on a plate and spoon on couple tablespoons of the sauce. sprinkle with sesame seeds. enjoy :) 
pon la enmolada en un plato y cubrela con unas cucharadas de mole. espolvoreala con ajonjolí. buen provecho :)
