'EASIEST EVER' CHICKEN MOLE ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• For the chicken: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. On a baking sheet, sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper and drizzle with the olive oil. Bake until cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. Set aside to cool, then shred into small bite-sized pieces.
• For the mole: Reconstitute the dried chiles by soaking them in 1 1/2 cups hot water for 15 minutes. Then drain and set aside. Toast the corn tortillas in a dry skillet until dry, crisp and golden. Tear into pieces and set aside. In the same skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions, season with a little salt and saute until translucent, about 3 minutes. Then add the garlic and cook 2 minutes more. Transfer the onion and garlic mixture to a blender with the chiles, tortillas, peanut butter and oregano. Pour the chicken stock over and blend until very smooth. Then transfer the sauce to a medium saute pan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium, cover and simmer 20 minutes. Stir in the chocolate. Season the mole with salt and pepper. Reserve 1 cup of mole for garnishing the enchiladas, the rest will be used for dipping the tortillas.
• To assemble the enchiladas: Fill a medium saute pan half way with oil over high heat. When the oil is hot, dip 1 tortilla at a time and fry just until soft and heated through, a few seconds. Lift out, let the excess oil drip off and then dip the fried tortilla directly into the warm mole (which should be right next to the pan for easy dipping) and transfer to a plate. Working quickly, put 1/3 cup of the shredded chicken in the center, being careful not to over fill. Roll the tortilla like a cigar to enclose the filling and place in a serving dish seam- side down. Continue to fill all of the tortillas and place them side-by- side. Pour the reserved mole over the top. (This recipe can be tightly wrapped and frozen for 3 weeks at this stage. To reheat: Preheat oven to 350degrees F, unwrap and bake until sauce is bubbly and enchiladas are heated through, about 20 to 25 minutes.) To serve, drizzle with a little sour cream and sprinkle with queso.

• Microwave on high for 4 to 6 minutes or until the Velveeta is melted.

ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• First make the sauce.
• Heat oil in a saucepan.
• Add flour, chilli powder, oregano and cumin and cook over a medium heat, stirring constantly, until golden brown.
• Add garlic and passata and mix to combine.
• Stir the stock into the tomato and chilli mixture and bring to the boil, reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, or until sauce reaches the required consistency.
• Turn off heat.
• (The sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.) Make the enchiladas.
• Brown the mince in a dry frying pan (or wok) and then put the mince in a colander to drain off any excess fat.
• In the same pan heat the oil and fry the onion and peppers until soft.

• You can add more chilli powder to the meat at this point if you want to spice it up more.
• Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Assemble the enchiladas.
• Divide the meat and sauce mixture equally between the 8 flour tortillas, fold in the sides and secure with a cocktail stick to stop them from unfolding.
• Place in a lightly greased baking tin.
• You can usually only fit four in a tin; use 2 tins or freeze some of the enchiladas.
• Pour the remaining sauce across the middle of the enchiladas and then remove the cocktail sticks.
• Put the grated cheese over the part of the enchiladas covered by the sauce.
• Cover loosely with tin foil and bake in the oven at Gas Mark 5 for 30 minutes.
