Preparation time:
Cooking time:
Yield: 4 servings

1/2 cup vegetable oil
12 corn tortillas
3 cups cooked pulled chicken
1 1/2 cups Mole Poblano Sauce
1 cup pico de gallo (tomatoes, onions and cilantro, finely chopped and seasoned with lime, garlic and salt)
1 cup Fresh Guacamole
1 1/2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, grated
2 cups mixed greens, chopped
1/3 cup sesame seeds for garnish

Remove pit and skin of avocadoes and cut into little pieces.
Throw all the ingredients into a bowl or mortar and start smashing until preferred consistency is met.

In a large skillet add ¼ cup of oil and set the heat a medium then add the tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, almonds and peanuts. Cook for 5 minutes and add the sesame seeds and cook until toasted and add the rest of the oil.
Turn the heat to medium low and add the rest of the ingredients and keep stirring until lightly toasted.
On a different pot or skillet heat the water until boiling.
Add the hot water to the other mixture of frying ingredients and keep it on low heat for 25 minutes.
Let the mixture cool down and blend until the consistency is nice and smooth.

Heat oil in a medium skillet until it simmers and dip the tortillas into the oil for about 5 seconds on each side (until limp), one by one.
Drain tortillas on a dry paper towel.
On a different pot or skillet heat the pulled chicken with half of your finished mole poblano sauce.
To assemble the enchilada put one tortilla on a plate and add 2 spoonfuls of the chicken mix with mole, roll the filled tortilla and keep doing the same until finished. Plate portions are 2 or 3 enchiladas per plate.
Top your enchiladas with the Monterey jack cheese and bake them until the cheese melts.
Add the rest of the mole poblano sauce on top of your enchiladas and top with sesame seeds.
Next to enchiladas add the mixed greens and top with the fresh guacamole and pico de gallo (accompanied with your favourite creation of rice or refried beans).
