Directions:
Boil chicken until tender, set chicken aside, save stock. Boil chilies, drain, set aside. Lightly brown sesame seeds, set aside. In blender, grind chiles with chicken stock (reserve 2 cups chicken stock), set aside. In blender, add remaining chicken stock and all other ingredients except chocolate and salt. Fry mixture in oil, add chile mixture and chocolate. Cook for 15 minutes, add stock to thin if necessary and add salt to taste (I find it takes quite a bit of salt). Once sauce is to taste, add chicken back in. Serve with hot tortillas.

Personal Notes:
I got this recipe from a neighbor and it was told to me in spanish. While it is probably one of the best moles i've every had, it takes awhile to make, but it makes a ton of sauce and the sauce freezes well.
