- If the meat is refrigerated, bring it to room temperature first. Brown the meat in the oil.
- In the same oil, fry the garlic until golden brown, then add the onion and cook until translucent. Add the tomatoes, chiles and toasted spices, and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Blend until smooth, then strain for a silky sauce. Season with salt to taste.
- Put the meat and sauce in a pressure cooker, add the water mixed with the bouillon powder, and cook on medium-high for 72 minutes. Release the steam carefully.
- Remove the meat and shred it, then return it to a pan with two scoops of sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste and fry over medium-high heat until coated.
- Sprinkle the cheese into a non-stick pan. Dip the tortillas in the sauce and place them over the cheese. Cook for 1 minute on each side.
- Fill the tortillas with the meat, fresh onion and cilantro, and serve with the dipping sauce.
