2. Cut tortillas into strips about 0.5 cm thin. Except for one, which is set aside completely.
3. Remove the tomatoes from the grill grate or pan.
4. Heat enough oil in a frying pan. Once the oil is hot, add the pasilla chile slices and fry, stirring constantly so they do not burn..

In the same oil in which the pasilla chiles were fried, fry the whole tortilla set aside Now crush the tomatoes, onion, ancho chiles, garlic clove and the whole tortilla that was just fried. Add salt, half of the chicken broth (water and chicken broth seasoning powder) and half of the pasilla chile rings.
