Enchiladas de Mole de Pina
These enchiladas are filled with a delicious pineapple mole sauce, giving them a unique and tropical twist.
Ingredients
- Fresh cilantro (1/4 cup, chopped)
- Queso fresco (1 cup, crumbled)
- Corn tortillas (12)
- Vegetable oil (2 tablespoons)
- Cloves (1/2 teaspoon)
- Cumin (1 teaspoon)
- Cinnamon (1 teaspoon)
- Sesame seeds (2 tablespoons, toasted)
- Almonds (1/2 cup, toasted)
- Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
- Onion (1 medium, chopped)
- Dried guajillo chilies (2)
- Dried ancho chilies (4)
- Pineapple (1 medium, peeled and diced)
Instructions
- Place the dried chilies in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Let them soak for 15 minutes to soften.
- In a blender, combine the soaked chilies, chopped onion, minced garlic, toasted almonds, toasted sesame seeds, cinnamon, cumin, cloves, and diced pineapple. Blend until smooth to make the mole sauce.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mole sauce and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
- Dip each tortilla in the mole sauce to coat both sides, then fill with a spoonful of the sauce and roll up. Place the enchiladas seam-side down in a baking dish.
- Pour any remaining mole sauce over the enchiladas and sprinkle with crumbled queso fresco.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until the enchiladas are heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
