For the broth, blend the chicken broth with the tomatoes, garlic, and onion until smooth. Set aside. Heat a pot over medium heat and cook the chorizo until it releases its fat, add the garlic, onion, and noodle paste, and fry until golden, being careful not to burn it. Add the tomato broth, let it come to a boil, and reduce the heat. Cook until the noodles are cooked and the liquid has reduced. Season to taste. For the sauce, blend the beans with their broth, sour cream, cilantro, epazote, and chipotle until you have a smooth sauce. Cook in a pot over medium heat for about 5 minutes and season with salt and pepper. Heat a pot over medium heat with water, add the piloncillo and apple cider vinegar, cook the chiles until slightly soft. Remove from the liquid and dry with a paper towel. Stuff the chiles with the dry noodles, serve on a plate with the bean sauce as a mirror, and decorate with fresh cheese, sour cream, and fried epazote. Enjoy.

Tips

It is important to hydrate the chile so that you can eat it; in this case, it is hydrated in piloncillo to provide a sweeter flavor and also reduce the spiciness, making it more subtle. When shopping, choose large, whole chiles so that your dish looks perfect.
