Blend the EMBASA® tomato sauce, onion, garlic, soaked guajillo chili, cumin, black pepper, achiote, apple cider vinegar, orange juice, and season with salt. Place the chicken in a bowl and coat it with the blended sauce, cover with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Heat a skillet or grill and cook the meat for 10 minutes until fully cooked. Remove and set aside. Heat 4 tortillas on a griddle, add a bit of cheese, two tablespoons of the pastor chicken on each, and close each tortilla with another on top. Cook the gringa for 5 to 7 minutes on each side and remove from the griddle. Serve the chicken gringa on a flat plate and accompany with limes, green sauce, and vegetables.
