Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the onion and garlic for 2 minutes or until they are shiny, then add the jalapeño pepper and the fish, season with salt and pepper, cook for 3 minutes, then you will notice it starting to change color, and then it will be time to pour in the jar of Tomates Molidos Del Fuerte® Origen. Mix the ingredients well with a wooden spoon and cook over medium-low heat for another 8 minutes or until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let cool. Place a tortilla on a board and fill it with one or two tablespoons of the stewed fish from the previous step. Close the "pescadillas" with two toothpicks to help keep the filling inside, and repeat until the fish is finished. Fry the "pescadillas" in a pot with enough oil over medium heat for 4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove from the oil and place on a plate with absorbent paper. For the sauce: blend the Tomates Molidos Del Fuerte® Origen with the pasilla chili, onion, and garlic clove until fully integrated and obtain a smooth sauce. Pour a little vegetable oil into a pot and cook the sauce over medium heat for 5 minutes, then season with salt and pepper. Place 2 or 3 "pescadillas" on a deep plate and drown with the pasilla chili sauce, then decorate with red onion and cilantro leaves. Serve the drowned "pescadillas" with avocado.
