Preheat the oven to 180°C. For the filling, heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the onion and garlic. Add the ground meat and cook for about 10 minutes or until it changes color. Add the almonds and walnuts. Add the plantain, cook for a few minutes, and then incorporate the apple and spices. Cook for 15 more minutes and season with salt and pepper. Set aside. Using a rolling pin, roll out the puff pastry to 3 mm thick and cut into squares of 20 x 10 cm. Fill the ancho chiles with the previous preparation and wrap with the puff pastry completely covering them. Brush the puff pastry with the egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden. In a pot over medium heat, warm the mole poblano with Doña María® chocolate ready to serve. Create a mirror of mole on each plate and drizzle with sour cream. Using a toothpick, pull in opposite directions to create a decoration. Serve the chiles on each plate and garnish with fresh parsley.
