How to make yellow mole empanadas:
- The first thing is to gather all the necessary ingredients for the yellow mole empanadas.
- Clean the chicken, wash it and cook it with a clove of garlic, a piece of onion and salt. Once cooked, remove the breasts, shred and reserve.
- Separately, we cook the tomato and in another container we cook the green tomato. We remove the tail from the guerilla chili peppers and deseed them. We roast them and let them soak.
- Now, as the next step to prepare the yellow mole, we place a saucepan on the stove, add a little oil or butter.
- Now we will first grind the tomato with a clove of garlic and a piece of onion and add it to the previously heated saucepan. Immediately add the green tomato and finally the guajillo chilies, and strain it.
- The next thing is to add the seasonings previously ground in a mortar or molcajete: pepper, clove and cumin. We dissolve the dough in a little water and add it to our yellow mole
- We continue with the preparation of the mole. After adding the dissolved mass, we move so that it does not stick and we allow it to continue cooking until it thickens. We put out the fire and remove from the fire. Let cool a bit and proceed to assemble the empanadas.
- We suggest you see the recipe for pineapple empanadas or any empanada recipe, where you will find how to prepare the basic dough for empanadas, fried or baked. We fill the empanadas with the yellow mole, we close them and with a fork we seal the edges so that the filling does not come out.
- Fry and once browned let them drain to remove excess oil on absorbent paper. We serve the yellow mole and chicken empanadas as a starter or accompanied by flank steak tacos or the ones we like the most.
