Boil water in a pot; once it has a small bubble, add the tomatoes and serrano peppers, and cook for 8 minutes over medium-low heat until the ingredients soften. Then remove from heat and drain. Blend all the above along with the onion, garlic, chicken broth, and allspice until completely integrated. Pour the mixture into a saucepan with hot vegetable oil, season with salt, and cook for 6 minutes over medium-low heat, stirring constantly. Keep warm until use. Fry the tortillas in vegetable oil for 45 seconds on both sides. Drain on paper towels. Once the excess oil is removed, fill the tortillas with shredded chicken. Serve the filled tortillas on a plate, drizzle with the tomato broth, and accompany with sour cream, fresh cheese, cilantro leaves, red onion, and avocado.
