Chicken Enchiladas With Cocoa and Chili Sauce
LA COCINA DE BABEL
Description
Slow-cooked in a dutch oven alongside carrots, leeks, and bay leaves, the chicken at the heart of these enchiladas is tender and flavorful. The chicken is then shredded and added to a mixture of sauteed onions, piquillo peppers, and chipotle sauce for a smoky filling that is sprinkled with cheese and rolled up in a tortilla. The crowning glory of this dish is the chocolate and chili sauce poured over the top of the enchiladas before being covered in cheese and baked until melted and golden.
Ingredients

- 1 leek (very clean)
