| 1. Place all tomato sauce ingredients in a saucepan and cook until the tomatoes and onions are soft. | 2. Allow to cool, place in blender and puree. | 3. Strain the puree and set aside. | 4. Lightly roast the arbol chiles on a dry griddle, just to the point of fragrance. (Do not allow them to char, as this results in a bitter flavor). | 5. Remove the stem and seeds from the chilies. | 6. Place the chiles and remaining chili sauce ingredients in a saucepan; cook until the chilies have softened, remove from heat and allow to cool. | 7. Transfer sauce ingredients to a blender, puree and strain; set aside. | 8. Cook the meat in water to cover with the onion, garlic, bay leaf, oregano and salt to taste. | 9. When cooked through, remove from cooking liquid and allow to cool. | 10. Shred the meat with two forks, or slice thinly if preferred. | 11. Remove the soft center from the rolls, place on plates, and divide the meat among the rolls. | 12. Bathe each one with tomato sauce (the tortas are easier to eat if the top half is left "dry") | 13. Serve torta on a plate with a lip to prevent messy dripping. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
