Remove stems and seeds from chiles.

Combine chiles and water in a medium saucepan, and bring to a boil; remove
from heat. Cover and let stand 1 hour. Drain and set aside.

Combine almonds and pumpkinseed kernels in a small skillet over medium
heat. Cook for 5 minutes or until lightly browned, shaking skillet
frequently. Remove from skillet, and set aside.

Add sesame seeds to skillet, and place over medium heat; cook 2 minutes or
until lightly browned, shaking skillet frequently. Remove from skillet, and
set aside.

Coat a medium nonstick skillet with cooking spray, and place over medium
heat until hot. Add onion and garlic, and sauté 5 minutes or until tender.
Add cinnamon, cumin, and cloves, and cook for 1 minute, stirring
constantly. Set aside.

Place almonds, pumpkinseed kernels, and sesame seeds in a food processor,
and process until finely ground. Add tortilla pieces, and process until
finely ground. Add chiles, onion mixture, chicken broth, and tomatoes, and
process until smooth.

Pour mixture into a medium nonstick skillet. Add salt and chocolate, and
cook over low heat 5 minutes or until chocolate melts, stirring frequently.
Set mole aside.

Wrap 12 corn tortillas first in damp paper towels and then in aluminum
foil; bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes or until softened. Spread 1
tablespoon mole over each tortilla; top each with 1/4 cup shredded chicken,
and rollup. Place filled tortillas in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish. Cover and
bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Yield: 6 servings.
