 Ingredients 

  • 1 lb. chicken breast
  • 1 white onion
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 9oz jar of Mole La Costeña
  • 3 plum tomatoes
  • 12 corn tortillas
  • 2/3 cup fresh cheese, grated
  • Cooking oil as needed



 


Bring a pot of water to a boil; add half an onion, 2 whole garlic cloves and the thyme. Cook chicken breast, bone and skin included. 
Remove the chicken once cooked through after 20-30 minutes. Discard the onion, herbs and garlic, but set aside one cup of chicken stock.
Shred the chicken and set it aside.
In a frying pan, add a tablespoon of cooking oil and sauté half an onion coarsely chopped and two garlic cloves until fragrant and caramelized. Add the tomatoes cut into wedges and cook for 2-3 more minutes. Set aside.
Add to a blender one cup of chicken stock, the mole La Costeña and the stir-fried tomatoes, onion and garlic. Blend until smooth.
Heat the tortillas in a skillet until soft, and fill each with 2-3 tablespoons of shredded chicken.
Place the filled tortillas in a baking tray and top them with the mole.
 Top with the grated cheese and serve immediately.
