Hung a chicken for dinner a few days ago.

Rolled the mix into logs for the filling.

Got the mole paste at my local tortilleria. Good stuff.

Slowly warmed the mole paste in a sauce pan and added chicken broth until thinned.
Topped the enchiladas with the paste and more shredded cheese.
Put it in the oven at 350*.
30 minutes later:

¡Mas fino!

I know it's not Q, but I wanted to share this cook with everyone.

What would I do different? The mole thickened up quite a bit while in the oven. Next time, thin the paste more (it was like chocolate pudding before it sets) and cover the enchiladas with it (and the cheese) about 15 minutes before removing from the oven. And used Crema for garnish instead of sour cream.

The mix: 1 1/2 cup shredded chicken, 1 cup shredded cheese, 1/4 cup sliced green onions, 1/4 cup sour cream, salt and pepper to taste.

That looks great, Robert!

I've been meaning to try the variety of moles at our local Hispanic Grocery... thanks for the push in the right direction!
 
I just posted in the " Who's thinking about the weekend smoke" thread that I was trying to decide to use some of my freezer stash of pulled pork and pulled chicken for either chili or enchiladas because of the lousy weather forecast.
You just made my mind up for me!
Thanks! Looks fantastic!
 
Great job Robert, I would be very happy to have a pan of those in front of me.
