Recipe
If doing from scratch: Place chicken and broth in heavy large pot.
Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, partially cover pot and
simmer until chicken is cooked, about 30 minutes. Cool chicken in
broth. Strain broth and spoon off fat. Reserve broth. Remove chicken
skin and bones. Discard. Shred chicken coarsely. Transfer to large
bowl. (Or use rotisserie chicken.)
Heat 3 tablespoons oil in large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add 1
cup onion, garlic, oregano, cumin and cinnamon. Cover. Cook until
onion is almost tender, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes.
Mix in chili powder and flour. Stir 3 minutes.
Gradually whisk in 4 1/2 cups broth. Increase heat to medium-high.
Boil until reduced to 3 cups, stirring occasionally, about 35 minutes.
Remove from heat.
Whisk in chocolate. Season with salt and pepper. Cool.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in medium skillet over medium heat. Add 1
tortilla and cook until just pliable, about 20 seconds per side.
Transfer to paper-towel-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining
tortillas, adding oil as needed.
Spread 1/3 cup sauce in each of two 13 x 9 x 2-inch glass baking
dishes. Mix 1 cup sauce into chicken. Put remaining sauce into shallow
dish. Reserving some sauce for top, lightly dip tortillas into sauce.
Spoon 3 tablespoons cheese, 1 tablespoon olives, 1 tablespoon onion
and 1/4 cup chicken over center of each. (Or mix ingredients together
to fill.) Roll up tortillas. Arrange seam side down in prepared dish.
Repeat with remaining tortillas. (Can be made 1 day ahead.)
Preheat oven to 375°F. Sprinkle enchiladas with remaining sauce and
cheese. Cover with foil. Bake 20 minutes (30 minutes if chilled).
Remove foil and bake until sauce bubbles, about 10 minutes.
Let stand 10 minutes.
Makes 8 servings
Note
A home-style, do-ahead main dish. The enchiladas can be assembled a
day in advance and refrigerated
