In a comal over medium heat, roast the chiles, garlic, and onion until they are charred on all sides. Remove and place the chiles in a plastic bag, close it, and let them sweat for 15 to 20 minutes. Meanwhile, for the sauce, blend the beans with the broth, garlic, and roasted onion, epazote, and hoja santa until you obtain a homogeneous mixture. Heat a tablespoon of oil and fry the bean sauce, cook for about 10 minutes or until it thickens and season. Set aside. For the filling, heat the remaining oil and sauté the onion and garlic. Add the shrimp, cook for a few minutes, and add the tomato, season with salt, pepper, and incorporate the cilantro. Remove and set aside. Remove the chiles from the bag, peel them, and carefully cut each one in half. Using a spoon, remove the seeds and open them. Stuff the chiles with the shrimp mixture. Serve the bean sauce as a mirror, arrange the chiles, and garnish with sour cream, sprouts, and cherry tomatoes. Enjoy.
