1/4 cup onion (cut into thin strips.)
3 cups mozzarella cheese
8 medium tomatoes (quartered. )
1 whole head garlic (one crushed whole head.)
1 tbsp cumin
1 tsp whole cloves (use 3/4 teaspoon of ground cloves for every 1 teaspoon of whole clove)
2 stick cinnamon stick
1 1/3 cups cooking oil (grape seed oil and avocado oil are healthier choices.)
1 tbsp salt
2.3 oz guajillo chiles

1 tbsp dried oregano

Steps

Slice onions, quarter tomatoes, crush garlic. Clean chiles by removing seeds and veins.
In a dry pan, toast cumin, cloves, oregano, and cinnamon over medium heat for about 5 minutes until fragrant.
Sear meat in oil until browned. If using refrigerated meat, let it come to room temperature first.
In the same oil, sauté garlic until golden brown, then add onions. Cook until they become translucent, then add tomatoes, chiles and spices. Allow to simmer for 10 minutes.
Blend the mix until smooth, then strain for a silky sauce. Add salt to taste.
Place meat and sauce in pressure cooker, add water mixed with stock powder. Cook on medium-high for 72 minutes. Release steam carefully
Remove, shred, and return to a pan with two scoops of sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste, fry over medium-high until coated.
Sprinkle cheese in a non-stick pan, dip the tortillas in sauce, and place them over the cheese. Cook for 1 minute on each side.
Fill with meat, fresh onion, cilantro, and a side of dipping sauce.
