Ingredients

Serves 6
14 1/2 ounces Tomatoes canned, no added salt, diced
3 Ancho Chiles dried, stemmed, and seeded
3 cloves Garlic chopped
2 cups Onion chopped
2 cups Chicken Broth
12 Corn Tortillas 6-inch, warmed

5.Repeat with remaining tortillas, chicken, and cheese.
6.Pour remaining mole over the top and sprinkle with remaining cheese and bake for 15 minutes.
7.Serve hot with avocado slices, light sour cream, and cilantro, if you like.
