Place the chiles, garlic, onion, cumin, tomato puree, meat, salt, pepper, and water in a pressure cooker. Cover and cook for 45 minutes or until the meat is ready. Remove the meat from the pot, shred it, and set aside. Blend the liquid with the chiles and the rest of the ingredients until you obtain a smooth sauce. Strain the sauce, pour it into a pot with a little oil, and cook for 10 minutes or until it reaches a slightly thick consistency. Add the meat and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Heat the tortillas, add cheese, and let cook for 5 minutes or until they become toasted and the cheese is melted. Serve the volcanoes with a bit of birria and accompany with the consommé. Garnish with onion, cilantro, and sauce.
