  • Season the shredded meat with salt and pepper, then place a portion in a tortilla, fold it in half, and secure it with toothpicks so it doesn't spill when you put it in the oil. Continue this way until all the tortillas are done.
  • In a skillet with oil heated halfway, fry the tacos until golden brown on both sides.
  • FOR THE SAUCE: In a hot comal (or thin skillet), cook the tomatoes, onion, chiles, and garlic (all cut in half) for 5 minutes on all sides, until they have some blackened parts. This will give them a better flavor.
  • Once the above is ready, put everything in a blender, add the chicken broth (or water), cilantro, and blend until well ground.
  • In a hot pot with oil over high heat, pour the blended mixture and then lower the heat to minimum, let it cook for 10 minutes covered.
  • Add more broth if necessary, add salt and pepper, and taste to your liking.
  • Serve the tacos (without the toothpicks) in deep plates, drowning them with the hot sauce. Top with a bit more meat, cream, cheese, and cabbage.
