Heat the vegetable oil and briefly fry the tortillas on both sides without deep-frying. Set aside. Roast the chiles on both sides and place them in a plastic bag to peel. For the tomato sauce, blend the tomatoes with the garlic, water, and salt for 3 minutes. In a skillet, sauté the onion, strips of poblano pepper, corn, and chicken; add the tomato sauce and cook for 10 minutes. To assemble the cake, place a layer of tortilla, a layer of chicken, cream, and cheese; repeat the process until the container is full, finishing with a layer of cheese. Bake for 15 minutes. Cut a slice and serve with your preferred drink.
