An exquisite enchilada featuring rich duck confit, a complex mole negro sauce, and artisanal blue corn tortillas, finished with a delicate queso fresco crumble.
Gently warm the duck confit legs in the oven for 15 minutes. Remove skin and shred the duck meat, discarding the bones.
To make the Mole Negro, heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic until softened. Stir in mole negro paste and cook for 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in chicken stock until smooth. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in grated dark chocolate until melted.
In a bowl, combine shredded duck confit, queso fresco, and epazote.
Warm the artisanal blue corn tortillas slightly to make them more pliable.
Dip each tortilla in the Mole Negro, then fill with the Duck mixture. Roll up and place seam-side down in a baking dish.
Pour remaining Mole Negro over the enchiladas. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until bubbly and heated through.
Garnish with thinly sliced radish and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
