      1. Add the mole paste and stock to a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until paste begins to absorb the liquid. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, uncovered.

      2. Add the chocolate. Stir occasionally to help it melt.

      3. Turn heat off. Stir in the orange zest.

      4. Stir ½ cup of sauce into the pork.  Also, place some sauce into the bottom of the baking pan for the enchiladas.

      1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

      2. Add oil to a fry pan or skillet and the sauce to a small plate. Heat ½” of oil over medium heat in a skillet or saute pan.  Quickly fry the tortilla in the hot oil, turning once.  You want to see the edges just start to curl.

      3. Drag tortillas into the sauce, making sure both sides get covered.  Place onto flat surface, fill with pork.  Roll and place into baking dish.

      4. Once all enchiladas are in baking dish, top remaining sauce then top with cheese.  Bake for 15-20 minutes or until cheese is melted and browned.

      5. Finish by topping with pickled onions, green onions and cilantro.  Serve and enjoy!
