For the sauce, place the pasilla chile with its soaking water in the blender, add El Fuerte® Seasoned Tomato Purée, allspice, whole cumin, cilantro, and oregano, and blend until you get a smooth sauce. Reserve. Heat a deep grill pan over medium heat, add the oil, and cook the chicken breasts until grilled and browned. Add the onion, nopales, and then pour in the sauce you blended earlier; season with salt and cook until the sauce slightly reduces. Keep warm. On a plate, place warm tortillas, serve the fajitas, and accompany with fresh cilantro and panela cheese. Enjoy.
