Boil water in a pot. Cut a cross at the tip of the tomatoes and cook them in the boiling water for 2 minutes, then transfer them to a bowl with cold water and ice. Remove the skin with your hands, as it should have loosened a bit during cooking; start from the tips that you cut before cooking. Grind the peeled tomatoes, tomato puree, onion, garlic, tree chiles, oregano, cumin, and clove until the mixture is smooth. Then, sauté the sauce in a pot with hot vegetable oil and finally, season with salt and pepper. Let it reduce a bit and reserve to bathe the tacos.
