Description

Chicken, poblano pepper and jalapeno cheese stuffed enchiladas with homemade mole sauce. Yup.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE SAUCE:
  • 6 whole Dried Ancho Chilis
  • 1 cup Water (reserved After Using)
  • ¼ cups Pumpkin Seeds
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper
  • 2 teaspoons Oregano
  • 3 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 1 can (14 Oz. Can) Diced Tomatoes
  • 2 ounces, fluid Dark Chocolate (at Least 70% Cocoa)
  • FOR THE ENCHILADAS:
  • 2 whole Chicken Breasts, Cooked And Shredded
  • 1 whole Poblano Pepper, Diced
  • ½ cups Onion, Diced
  • ¾ cups Chopped Fresh Cilantro
  • ½ cups Taco Seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons Cumin
  • 10 whole Whole Wheat And Corn Tortillas
  • 2 cups Jalapeno Jack Cheese, Shredded
  • 1 cup Black Olives
  • Optional Garnishes: Cilantro, Green Onions, Salsa And Spicy Cabbage (see My Recipe Box)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425 F. Grease a 9 x 13 baking dish and set it aside.

Add water and the dried chilies into a pot over medium heat. Once boiling, let it continue to boil for 20 minutes until chilies are tender. Remove from heat and set aside.

In a skillet add pumpkin seeds, cinnamon, pepper and oregano. Toast over medium heat about 5 minutes until seeds are golden and fragrant.

In a food processor dump in chilis, a little of the chili water (don’t discard the water yet, you may need it later), and the seed mixture. Blend into a paste.

In another pot add garlic, diced tomatoes, and the chili paste. Add in a little of the remaining chili water if it needs to be thinned (don’t discard the water yet, you may need it later). Let it come to a simmer then add in chocolate. Simmer about 20 minutes.

In a bowl combine the cooked chicken, pepper, onion, cilantro, taco seasoning and cumin. Toss to combine. Add in a little of the remaining chili water to keep it moist.

Spread out your tortillas on a work surface. On 1 tortilla add a little sauce. Scoop about 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture into each tortilla. Top with a little cheese and roll it up. Set the rolled tortillas into the prepared dish seam side down. Continue until filling and tortillas are gone.

Pour the remaining mole sauce over all the tortillas. Top with the remaining jalapeno jack cheese and olives. Cover the dish with a sheet of foil and bake 35-40 minutes. Remove foil and bake 10 minutes more until crispy.

Enjoy.

This sauce was amazing. I only used the sauce portion of the recipe as I had the other fixings ready to go and wanted a from-scratch enchilada sauce. I found this one and wondered, maybe this would taste like the sauce at Seattle’s Cactus restaurant. They make these stacked butternut squash enchiladas that are AMAZING, and the sauce is key. This sauce was so similar, I was savoring every bite of it tonight! I will definitely make this again.

I actually only had sunflower seeds and not pumpkin seeds…they substituted well. Thank you! I love this!!
