Preheat the oven to 200° C. For the sauce, heat a small pot over medium heat with the oil, cook the onion with the garlic, add the tomato, the morita chili, salt to taste, bay leaves, whole pepper, and cilantro. Fill with shrimp broth and cook for 5 minutes until the liquid is reduced by half, cool. Blend the mixture until you get a thick sauce. Heat a small pot with oil and return to cooking, adjusting the seasoning. Set aside. For the filling, heat a pan over medium heat with the oil, add the garlic, the onion, the surimi, remove from heat, and cool the mixture. Mix with the bell pepper, La Costeña® Mayonnaise with Lemon Juice, and panela cheese. Fill the tortillas with the previous preparation, serve in a dish, cover with morita sauce, add Oaxaca cheese, and garnish with onion rings. Gratin the cheese in the oven for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Remove from the oven and enjoy.
