Preparation

In a small pot heat the water and cook the tomatoes with the chili, onion and garlic.

Blend the previous preparation with a little liquid.

Heat a small pot over medium heat with the oil and sauté the previous preparation, add the bay leaf, the oregano, the clove, the cumin, season with salt to your liking and cook 5 minutes more so that it thickens slightly. Reserve the sauce.

On a short board the birotes remove a little crumb and stuff with the carnitas. Serve the cake on a plate and cover with the sauce. Add a bit of purple onions and red sauce to accompany. Enjoy

PRESENTATION

Serve the pancake with a little purple onions and red sauce.

TIPS

You can use another type of bread if you do not have Birote. Make sure it is hard crust so it does not water quickly.

Buena receta pero la salsa no es espesa y son salsas diferentes, es una de jitomate y otra de chile de árbol. El birote salado no va cortado completo y se untan frijoles refritos
