Preheat the oven to 200°C. For the sauce, cook the tomatoes along with the chiles and onion in a pot of boiling water with salt for 15 minutes. Drain. Blend the tomatoes, chiles, onion, garlic, cilantro, cream, and chicken broth. In a pot over medium heat, heat the oil and fry the sauce for 15 minutes on low heat, season with salt and pepper, and set aside. In a skillet, heat the oil and fry the tortillas on both sides, draining on paper towels. On a cutting board, fill the tortillas with the chicken and roll them up, placing them in a baking dish, cover with the red sauce, and sprinkle with cheese. Gratin in the oven until the cheese is melted and golden. Serve hot, decorates with rings of red onion and fresh cilantro leaves.
