ENCHILADAS DE POLLO EN MOLE COLORADITO

An enchilada stuffed with juicy chicken and covered with mole sauce is an excellent way to showcase mole coloradito, one of the seven moles of Oaxaca. Coloradito typically calls for brioche or other bread to thicken the sauce; I like using sourdough for the slightly funky flavor it brings to the mole. Chocolate and plantains are common in this version as well, but I prefer mine without these to emphasize the flavors of the other ingredients. This recipe is a great way to demonstrate one of my favorite Mexican cooking techniques: refrying. Refrying is the process of cooking something again in an extremely hot saucepot to give it more character and depth of flavor.

Steps:

  • Combine the ancho, pasilla and guajillo chiles and raisins in a medium bowl. Add enough hot water to cover, cover the bowl and soak until the chiles are softened and the raisins plump, 15 to 20 minutes. Strain. Remove and discard the stems from the chiles. Set the raisins and chiles aside.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place the tomatoes, tomatillos, onion and garlic on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with enough oil to coat and sprinkle with salt. Roast until the vegetables are soft and slightly charred, about 25 minutes.
  • Place the sourdough on a small rimmed baking sheet, drizzle lightly with oil and season with salt. Spread out in an even layer and toast until golden brown, 6 to 9 minutes.
  • Place the cloves, cumin and cinnamon stick in a small heavy skillet. Place over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until toasted and fragrant, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a small plate. Add 3 tablespoons of the sesame seeds to the same skillet over medium heat and toast, stirring often, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer to the plate with the toasted spices.
  • Drain the chiles and raisins. Working in 2 batches, combine the chiles and raisins, roasted vegetables, toasted sesame seeds, cinnamon stick, cloves, cumin, sourdough and broth in a blender. Puree until smooth, return to the bowl and set aside.
  • To refry the sauce, pour enough oil into a 6-quart saucepan to cover the bottom. Place over high heat. Once the oil just begins to smoke, partially cover the pot to protect from the sauce splattering and carefully pour in the blended ingredients (see Cook's Note). Immediately cover the pot, lower the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes; this will allow the flavors to marry and intensify.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • To assemble the enchiladas, add about 1 tablespoon oil to a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Fry the tortillas one at a time, turning them once, just until soft and pliable; this will make them easier to roll and prevent them from cracking. Set them aside in a stack on a plate, covered, to keep warm.
  • When ready to assemble, flip the stack of tortillas to use the ones on the bottom first, fill each tortilla with chicken, roll to enclose and place side-by-side in a row in a large baking dish. Once the dish is full, cover the enchiladas completely with the mole and bake until the chicken is warmed through, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place the remaining 1 tablespoon sesame seeds in a small heavy skillet set over medium heat. Toast, stirring constantly, until just lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle the enchiladas with the sesame seeds and serve.

EL CHOLO'S SONORA-STYLE ENCHILADAS

These chicken-filled, Sonora-style enchiladas have been offered at El Cholo in Los Angeles since it began as the Sonora Café in 1923. They are based on the recipe of Rosa Borquez, who started the restaurant with her husband, Alejandro. Both were born in the Mexican state of Sonora. This dish, with stacked tortillas rather than rolled, is known in Sonora as "enchiladas chatas," flat enchiladas. Adapted from "A Taste of History: With Authentic El Cholo Recipes" by Ron Salisbury (2020), this recipe includes a chicken stew base with tomatoes, poblano and white pepper, plus a classic red enchilada sauce with smoky dried chiles and a green enchilada sauce with verdant notes from tomatillos, fresh chiles and spinach. A fried egg crowns the top.

Steps:

  • Prepare the chicken filling: In a medium saucepan, combine poblano, tomato, salt, oregano, white pepper and garlic with 3 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil over high, then cook over medium heat for 30 minutes. Add chicken, cook for an additional 10 minutes, then stir in cilantro.
  • While the filling cooks, prepare the red enchilada sauce and green enchilada sauce. (You also can prepare both sauces first and keep them warm over low heat.)
  • When ready to assemble the enchiladas, heat the broiler and set an oven rack a few inches away from it. (It is tricky to assemble all six servings of enchiladas at once, but they can be assembled in batches or cooked off one or two at a time. The components all store well refrigerated for a few days.)
  • Heat a medium skillet over medium. Add a layer of vegetable oil that is about the thickness of a corn tortilla and heat over medium-high. Using tongs, dip tortillas in hot oil, quickly cooking on both sides just until warmed without allowing tortillas to become crisp, about 20 seconds per side. Transfer warmed tortillas to a plate and continue until all are fried, adding oil as needed.
  • Stack one serving of enchiladas at a time: Dip 1 tortilla in red sauce until fully coated and place on an ovenproof rimmed plate, bowl or baking dish that is slightly wider than the tortilla. Top with 1/3 cup of black beans and a sprinkling of the cheese.
  • Dip a second tortilla into the red sauce, then place it on top. Top the second tortilla with 1/2 cup of chicken filling, spreading it in an even layer. Dip a third tortilla into the green sauce until fully coated, then set it on top of the chicken filling. Liberally top half of the top tortilla with red sauce and the other half with green sauce; sprinkle generously with cheese and red onion.
  • Assemble remaining tortilla stacks.
  • Heat the enchiladas under the broiler, working in batches, until cheese is well melted, 1 to 2 minutes. While cheese is melting, fry eggs in a skillet, in batches as needed.
  • Top each serving with a fried egg; season the egg with salt. Drizzle each serving liberally with the loosened sour cream. Top with garnishes, as desired, and serve immediately.

1 poblano chile, halved, seeded and finely chopped
1 tomato, chopped
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
1 teaspoon ground white pepper
1 garlic clove, chopped
2 (packed) cups shredded cooked chicken (about 10 ounces)
Minced fresh cilantro, to taste
3 1/2 cups Red Enchilada Sauce, warmed
3 cups Green Enchilada Sauce, warmed
Vegetable oil, as needed
18 corn tortillas
2 cups canned black beans
10 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, shredded (about 4 cups)
1/2 medium red onion, finely chopped (about 1/2 cup)
6 large eggs
1/2 cup sour cream, thinned with water until easy to drizzle
Sliced black olives, minced red bell pepper and sliced scallions, for garnish (optional)

ENCHILADAS DE POLLO (PAULA DEEN)

My husband loves these enchiladas and ever since we went on a diet, he has been missing them. The original recipe is from the Paula Deen Celebrates book, but the one I am posting is just for me to try and lighten it up a bit. It's basically every ingredient in the original recipe, but fat free (if possible). It makes to big pans of enchiladas, so you might want to cut this in half
