Add the Doña María® Ready to Serve Mole to a pot over medium heat, mix constantly, and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside. Heat Gran Tradición® Oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry the tortillas for 2 minutes on each side. Remove from heat and remove excess oil with paper towels. Set aside. Grease a baking dish and assemble the Aztec cake: place a base of tortillas, add a layer of chicken, pour the Doña María® Almond Mole Ready to Serve, and decorate with manchego cheese. Repeat the process until finishing with a layer of tortillas. Cover with a layer of manchego cheese and bake for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
