    In a medium saucepan, combine the mole paste and chicken broth over medium heat.

    Drain the excess oil from the tortillas using paper towels.

    Dip a warm tortilla into the mole sauce until fully coated, then place it on a plate.

  6. 6

    Fill the center of the tortilla with a portion of shredded chicken and fold it in half or roll it up.

  7. 7

    Repeat with the remaining tortillas, arranging three per plate, and spoon extra mole sauce over the top.

  8. 8

    Garnish with crumbled queso fresco, sliced onions, a drizzle of crema, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
