Let's Get Started
- 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.
