In a small pot over medium heat, heat a little oil and fry the pumpkin seeds; cook until golden brown, remove and set aside. In the same pot, fry the sesame seeds, remove and set aside; repeat the process with the almonds. In a small pot, fry the tomatoes, onion, garlic, add cumin, black pepper, cilantro, and epazote; return the seeds to the pot, pour in the chicken broth and cook for 10 minutes. Let it cool and set aside. Blend the previous preparation with the chard leaves and in a small pot over medium heat, heat a little oil, pour in the mole, season with salt and pepper and simmer for 30 minutes. In a skillet, heat oil and fry the tortillas on both sides for 30 seconds. Place on absorbent paper to remove excess fat. Fill the tortillas with the shredded chicken, place on a serving plate and bathe with the green mole, accompanied by cream, cheese, onion, sesame seeds, and epazote.
