Cook the meat with bay leaf, pepper, a clove of garlic, and a piece of onion, adding salt to taste, and wait until it is completely tender and drain the water. Boil the tomato and blend it with 2 cups of warm water along with a piece of garlic, onion, and a pinch of salt, cumin, and clove. Season the sauce in a pan with a tablespoon of oil and add the oregano. Cook the chiles separately with garlic and onion. Blend to prepare the spicy sauce, which you can add to the tomato sauce to your liking. Open the bolillos in half, remove the crumb, spread refried beans on both sides, fill them with the meat, and submerge them in the red sauce. Add the spicy sauce if you wish and enjoy.

Tips

The bolillo or birote produced in Guadalajara for tortas ahogadas is special, a bit harder than normal, so that it doesn't fall apart when soaked in the sauce. I recommend that if you use a conventional bolillo, you fry it lightly.
