Preparation
- Step 1
To make the sauce, place the chilies in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a simmer and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain, reserving the liquid. Stem and seed the chilies and place them in a blender with the tomatoes, sesame seeds, oregano, cloves, allspice, cinnamon, garlic, banana, chocolate and salt, plus ½ cup of the reserved cooking liquid. Blend until smooth. Scrape the mixture into a saucepan, stir in ½ cup water and simmer for 5 minutes. Keep warm.
- Step 2
To make the enchiladas, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Steam the tortillas until hot and pliable. Place each tortilla on a work surface and arrange ¼ cup of the turkey in a line down the center. Top with ½ tablespoon of the onion and 1 tablespoon of the cheese. Roll up and place seam side down in a shallow baking dish. Repeat. Spoon sauce over the tortillas and bake until heated through, about 15 minutes. Serve immediately.

Forget that there’s no beautiful recipe picture. It’s a wonderful dish. And it’s basically a “pantry recipe” (supposing you have dried spices and chiles in yours right now) — which is nice.
I think that a large portion of the ingredient list is missing. What kind of cheese? How many tortillas? How much turkey?
I mixed in a bit of yogurt to cut the heat a little. I used leftover rotisserie chicken heated with sliced onion, red pepper and a bit of salsa for the filling along with a bit of cheese. I Also sprinkled some cheese on top of the mole after spooning it on the enchiladas. Plenty of sauce left over which I’ll freeze. A good dish. Would make again.
Not my favorite enchilada, but it was ok.
We make these every year after Thanksgiving with smoked turkey. SOOOO good.
As written this recipe turned out the flattest tasting and bitter creation vaguely resembling mole I have ever tasted. Tried to rescue it at the 11th hour by cribbing from a Rick Bayless enchiladas with mole recipe. Adding a disk of Rancho Gordo Mexican chocolate, a tablespoon of raisins and half a tablespoon of sugar made it palatable. Threw out all of the leftover sauce. If you’re after a mole shortcut. Use the jars in the grocery store.
