These originated in the state of Guanajuato, Mexico, a region known for mining since colonial times. Miners' wives used to make these for them, and they're still enjoyed today. I want to note that I made mine with pork, as a variation and in my own style.

1

Place the pork and bay leaves in a pressure cooker. Cook for 30 minutes after the pressure regulator is in place.

Once you can open the cooker, remove 1 cup of the broth. Rinse and remove the seeds and veins from the chiles. Add them to the broth along with the garlic, onion, salt, and cumin. Bring to a boil and cook until the chiles are soft.
3

Once cooled, blend and strain the mixture. Simmer for a couple of minutes.

Shred the pork well and adjust the salt if needed.

Dip each tortilla in the sauce one at a time, fill with pork, and fold in half.
