  • For the red sauce, heat a deep skillet over medium heat with the oil and cook the garlic with the onion, guajillo chili, and tomato until soft. Fill with chicken broth, bring to a boil, and let reduce by half, season with salt, remove from heat, and blend until smooth, strain, and set aside.
  • For the green sauce, heat a small pot over medium heat with the water, cook the tomatoes, serrano chili, white onion, garlic, and cilantro until the tomatoes change color. Remove from the water and blend with more cilantro and salt until smooth. Heat a small pot over medium heat with oil and fry the sauce until it reduces and thickens slightly, season, and set aside.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat with the oil and lightly fry the tortillas, remove and place on absorbent paper to remove excess fat.
  • Fill the tortillas with the shredded chicken, fold, and place them on a plate, drench one half with the red sauce and the other half with the green, serve with cheese, cream, onion, and cilantro. Enjoy.
