Easy Mole Enchiladas - Chocolate and Cheese in one Recipe!
Mole Sauce Ingredients:
vegetable oil for frying
about 2 cups chopped onion
2 cloves garlic (about 2 tsp) minced
1/4 cup chili powder
2 tbsp light brown sugar
3/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ancho chile powder or 1/4 tsp cayenne (optional)
1 15 ounce can diced tomatoes
3 tbsp cocoa powder
3 tbsp peanut butter
2 cups water
salt & pepper to taste Enchilada Ingredients:
whipped cream cheese
light monterey jack cheese
about 8 corn tortillas To make Mole Sauce:
Heat oil in large pot over medium heat. Add onions and kook 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until browned. Stir in garlic, chili powder, brown sugar, cinnamon, ancho chile powder and cook 1 minute, or until fragrant, stirring constantly. Add tomatoes, cocoa, peanut butter and 2 cups water. Season with salt & pepper to taste. Reduce heat to medium low and cook 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. If you like it chunky, you're done. If you're like me, use an immersion blender or regular blender to make it smooth. Also, taste it to see if you need more sweetness (brown sugar) or spice, etc. To make Enchiladas:
Preheat oven to 350. Ladle 3/4 cup Mole Sauce into the bottom of a 9 x 12 baking dish. Place a small line of the cream cheese along a tortilla and add about 2 1/2 tbsp monterey jack on top and roll tortilla around the cheese. Set seam side down on top of the mole sauce and repeat until you've filled the pan, about 8 enchiladas. Top with remaining mole & sprinkle some cheese on top of that. Bake 20 minutes, or until sauce bubbles and cheese melts. Of course, you can use anything to stuff the enchiladas that you like. The cream cheese seems to go with the mole sauce because of the sweetness. If you're using meat or hard vegetables, pre-cook them before putting them in the tortillas. Mole isn't for everyone... my mother can't get behind the chocolate with cheese thing. Last time I made this I left out the ancho/cayenne. It didn't taste "hot" to me or my dad at all, but it did to my mom & daughter. Enjoy!
